[Intro]
\nLong ago there was an anthem
\nAbsurd, but nobody knew a word
\nSo mostly we would just try to hum some
\nand the rest of it went something like this:<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWe don’t know
\n(The god damn words)
\nWe don’t know
\n(The god damn words)<\/p>\n

Nooo.. We don’t know
\n(The god damn words)<\/p>\n

Then… we’d hum some…
\n(And… hmmmm… we’d hum some more)
\n… for sure…
\n… what you say is true
\n(We never knew…)
\n… a word…
\n(How absurd?)<\/p>\n

And sure enough…
\n(Call my bluff)
\nIt would come around again…
\n(Begin:)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWe don’t know
\n(The god damn words)
\nWe don’t know
\n(The god damn words)<\/p>\n

Nooo.. We don’t know
\n(The god damn words)<\/p>\n

Then… we’d hum some…
\n(And… hmmmm… we’d hum some more)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWe don’t know
\n(The god damn words)
\nWe don’t know
\n(The god damn words)<\/p>\n

Nooo.. We don’t know
\n(The god damn words)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThen… we’d hum some…
\n(And… hmmmm… we’d hum some more)<\/p>\n

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, the hmmm hmmmm
\n(No, we don’t… )
\nHmmm, hmmm, hmmm, the hmmm hmmmm
\n(No, we don’t… )
\nAnd… hmmmm… we’d hum some more<\/p>\n

Once again there is an anthem
\nAbsurd, but nobody knows a word
\nSo mostly we just try to hum some
\n(Shhh… so “the word” is mum)<\/p>\n
