Do You Even Know?

[Silence]

[Instrumental: Hohner Clavinet, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, sub-bass, organ, percussion, drums]

[Intro]
Here we go again…
(Oh, no, not same ole game)
Same old story
(Another round of blame)

Got a question?
(You don’t know)
Got the answers?
(Where’d they go?)

[Verse 1]
You read a headline
(You think you know)
You heard a rumor
(And off you go)

You skip the details
(You miss the facts)
Then point your finger
(And launch attacks)

A little knowledge
(A mighty show)
Big declarations
(With nowhere to go)

You want a debate
(But won’t engage)
Just keep on shouting
(On center stage)

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me the numbers
(Show me the proof)
Check your assumptions
(What’s the truth?)

If you’re so certain
(Then make it clear)
Answer the question
(We’re all ears!)

[Refrain]
Do you even know
(What you’re asking about)
Oh woe oh whoa
(Do you even know)

You keep casting doubt
(With the hot air you blow)
Love to cry and whine
(All of the time)

Please…
(Give us a break)
Geeze…
(We’ve had all we can take)

[Verse 2]
You move the goalposts
(When facts come through)
Change the subject
(When challenged by truth)

Demand an answer
(Then talk right past)
Nothing gets settled
(When nothing can last)

You call it research
(You share a link)
But did you read it?
(Stop and think!)

[Refrain]
Do you even know
(What you’re asking about)
Oh whoa woe… Oh!
(Do you even know)

You keep shouting it out
(But still don’t know)
Love to rant and rage
(The world’s your stage)

Please…
(Give us a break)
Geeze…
(We’ve had all we can take)

[Instrumental]

Know what you know
(Know what you don’t)
Make your case
(Or maybe you won’t)

Read it again
(Check it twice)
Facts aren’t feelings
(And truth isn’t nice)

Nobody knows everything
(That’s understood)
But do you know anything
(That can do us some good?)

If you want answers
(Then listen, too)
The burden of proof
(Applies to you!)

Don’t cry conspiracy
(Without a clue)
Don’t blame the world
(For questioning you)

Think it through
(Follow it through)
Look at the facts
(And check what’s true)

Less accusation
(More explanation)
Less aggravation
(More realization!)

[Final Refrain]
Do you even know
(What you’re asking about)
Oh woe oh whoa woe
(Do you even know)
Oh, oh, oh

You keep casting doubt
(And scream and shout)
Love to cry and whine
(All of the time)

Please…
(Give us a break)
Geeze…
(We’ve had all we can take)

Do you even know?
(Then let it show!)
Do you even know?
(Or just say so?)

[Outro]
Do you even know?
(Yes or no?)
