Lyrics
Another fragile castaway
Another big shot scorned
You say you got an opinion
And you know we've all been warned
But when your eyes run us up and down
We know it's time to go
You say you read a lot of Tolstoy
Gettin' to the club as the drunks pour in
Stayin' 'til they kick you out at close again
Never knew a fight you couldn't pick with words
Never heard a no that you couldn't ignore
You're just another word for
(Know-it-all) you really can't help it
(Know-it-all) they really don't know
(Know-it-all)
You really can't help it, how can you show?
(Know-it-all) someone's gotta teach you
(Know-it-all) you think that it's you
(Know-it-all) you really can't help it, how can you show
What they don't know?
At every coffee shop in town
At every bar's empty stool
We know you're gonna be there
And ready to play the fool
You say it's actually like this
You say he really didn't mean that
Ooh, such a measure of nothing
Slick hair, familiar slouch
Explaining all the world from the back of your couch
God help a fella who doesn't know
She just made a date with the creep next door
Oh fuck, there's more
(Know-it-all) you really can't help it
(Know-it-all) they really don't know
(Know-it-all)
You really can't help it, how can you show?
(Know-it-all) will we ever know silence?
(Know-it-all) can you ever let go?
(Know-it-all) you really can't help it, how can you show
What they don't know?
Cue the music, cue the lights
Cue your boyish drunken fights
Cue the headache, 3PM
Get up and do it all again
Cue the flowers, cue the sun
Cue your finger on your thumb
You think you're better than the best
Give it a goddamn rest
Know-it-all
You little know-it-all
You're such a know-it-all
You're just a know-it-all
You little know-it-all
You fuckin' know-it-all
You're such a know-it-all
You're just a know-it-all
