you used to follow - now you lead,
college has enlightened you .
And you are proud to be different and like
different bands - different types you ain't nobody's fool.
It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated
'cause they didn't wear the right clothing
and there's only one true fashion.
And a lot of the bands on the college charts are great bands
'til they get signed, then you hate them.
It's such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite.

Know it all, know it all - Did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?

I remember you and I, listening to bands that we liked,
only the songs mattered to you,
but now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype
"Corporate Rock Sucks"
"You know, college radio enlightens you"
It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands
without prejudice, but it makes no sense,
a safe harbor for the underground
'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound
The bands are good 'til they make enough cash
to eat food and get a pad,
then they're sold out and their music is clich?
Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay

Know it all - Did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?
Know it all...
