Damn all those people who don't lose control
Who will never take a foot out of life
You might not care what I think
But you don't know what I know

And damn all those hippies
Who stomp empty footed
Upon all that's good
All that's pure of the world
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know

Bless all those mothers
Who do all they can
Just to take their faults out of the line
I might not know what it's like
But I'm glad that you know

Give me a minute there
Just a minute now
It'll come back to me

I was so sure that you
Freewheeling troubadour
You took my mind off the seam
And you know
And I know I know I know that you know

You asked me blind once
If I was a child once
And I said I'm really not sure
How can you know
How can you know
What it is you don't know?

We were a pair once
Of so much despair
Oh we were a child then I'm sure
But if we were a child then
We are children no more

Give me a minute there
Just a minute now
It'll come back to me

I was so sure that you
Freewheeling troubadour
You took my mind off the seam
And you know
And I know I know I know what you know
You know you know you know
And I know what you know
