Lyrics

YOU KNOW IT
Words and Music by John Cannon

There was a time not long ago, when people looked to see peace and light
So much went down since then, most of them closed their eyes and tried to dream
But a dream is no good when they're knocking down your door
So you first better treat "Might" right and learn what it's for

In the past we had "The Way", there was no place we would not try to reach
But like the children that we were, we opened up our lives for all to see
But a life is no good when they're picking over your bones
So you best put dreams in their place and deal with the "Knowns"

And you know it's a fool who resists changes in the world
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
And you know it's a sin to spread lies and confusion, There're so many better things to do
You know it, you know it , you know it, you know

And now the time has come again, some of us are still here believing
This time around we'll take it slow, it can only be better than before
But the power's no good if it hangs 'round your neck like a stone
If you want those dreams to come true, you'll deal with the "Knowns"

And you know it's a fool who resists changes in the world
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
And you know it's a sin to spread lies and confusion, There're so many better things to do You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
