Knowing How the World Works Lyrics

Papa don't preach
Papa don't preach
I said, "Papa don't preach."
Come on, papa don't preach

Papa don't preach
I beseech you, man
Your devilish deeds
Teach more than a teacher can
What have we learned?
Which lessons won't stick?
Tracing the edges of wisdom and shit

Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world
Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world

You're tracing its movements
Predict its every turn
You watch down from above
And record what you learn
You're graphing the data
And tagging up our ears
Complex simulations
With graph paper gears

Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world
Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world

Wistful in his widow's peak
So to speak, he stands
A son confronts his father
With his hat in his hands
All the things you never could do
I never can
All the things I blamed on you
I see I now do, too

Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world
Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world

Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world
Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world

A handful of stories
A house full of cards
A mouthful of sorrys
And a heart full up of scars
I'll take a handful of you
And take a handful of me
I put it in my mouth
And chew it up so thoroughly

I learned just one thing when I was young:
Pretend that you hate everything you love

I learned just one thing when I was young:
Pretend that you hate everything you love

I learned just one thing when I was young:
Pretend that you hate everything you love

I learned just one thing when I was young:
Pretend that you hate everything you love
