Start Jamming...
That was a rather scary murmur from the audience there.
Can't imagine what that meant.
But they're all proud cyclists come down here today to see me perform.
Not a single one of them stopped at a red light.
They went straight through.
Such was their urgency.
And their lawlessness.
Later they'll be chanting
two wheels good, four wheels bad.
I have a new album out called Tooth and Mow.
It fits in wonderfully from the vibe here at South by Southwest
because it searches both for redemption
but also addresses the ambiguity of the [C] 21st century
in this song which is [F] called No One Knows Nothing [G] Anymore.
[D]
[G]
[F] Deep [C] down in the underground
[Gm] Atoms [Bb] spinning round and [F] round
Scientists [C] monitor [Gm] readings
[Bb]
[F] Searching [C] for the holy [Gm] grail
A particle [Bb] or at least a tail
[F] The one that gives [C] the universe [G] its meaning
But [Bb] [F] what if there's nothing
[C] No big answer to [Dm] find
[Bb] [F] What if we're just passing [C] through time
[Eb] No [Bb] one knows nothing [F] anymore
[C] [F]
[Gm] Nobody [Bb] really [F] knows the score
[Eb] Since [Bb] nobody knows [F] anything
[C] [F] [Eb] Let's [Bb] break it down and start [G] again
[F] What [C] happens when the markets [Gm] drop
If the [Bb] numbers really don't add [F] up
Everyone [C] seeks a safe [Gm] haven
[Bb] [F] And as they [C] contemplate they [Gm] ruin
The self-proclaimed smartest [Bb] people in the room
[F] Trying [C] very hard not [G] to sound craven
But [Bb]
what [F] if there's nothing
[C] No pot of gold to [Dm] find
[Bb]
[F] Only the blind leading [C] the blind
[F] [Eb] No [Bb] one knows [F] nothing anymore
[C] [Eb] Nobody [Bb]
really [F] knows the score
[Gm] Since nobody [Bb] knows [F]
anything
[C]
[Eb] Let's break [Bb] it down and start [G]
again
[Bb]
Let's stop pretending
[F] That we can [Em] manage [D] our way out of [Bb] here
Let's stop defending the [F] [C] [D] indefensible
[D]
[Bb] Let's stop relying [F] on
The [C] hectoring [D] of the experts [G] who spin
Just makes our plight incomprehensible
[F] High up [C] on a [Gm] mountaintop
Somebody [Bb] with a skinhead crop
[F] Is thinking [C] deep thoughts for us [Gm] all
[Bb]
[F] Serenity [C] is all [Gm] around
If you listen [Bb] you can hear the sound [F] of one head
[C] Being banged against [G] a wall
[Bb] What if [F] our ancestors [C] had stayed up in the [D] [Dm] trees
[Bb] Would we still [F] be weighed down by [C] these worries
[Dm]
[Eb] No [Bb] one knows [F] nothing anymore
[C] [F] [Eb]
Nobody [Bb] really [F] knows the score
[Eb] Since nobody [Bb]
knows [F] anything
Let's [Eb] break [Bb] it down and [C] start [G] again
[D] [N]
