Now You Know

[MARY]
All right, now you know
Life is crummy
Well, now you know

I mean, big surprise
People love you and tell you lies
Bricks can tumble from clear blue skies
Put your dimple down
Now you know

Okay, there you go
That's the sum of it
Now you know

It's called flowers wilt
It's called apples rot
It's called thieves get rich and saints get shot
It's called God don't answer prayers a lot
Okay, now you know

Well okay, now you know
Now forget it
Don't fall apart at the seams
It's called letting go your illusions
And don't confuse them with dreams
If the going's slow
Don't regret it
And don't let's go to extremes

It's called what's your choice?
It's called count to ten
It's called burn your bridges, start again
You should burn them every now and then
Or you'll never grow

Because now you grow
That's the killer is
Now you grow

All right, nothing's fair
It's all a plot
And tomorrow doesn't look too hot—
You better look at what you've got
Over here, hello?
Okay, now you know
