A song about how life is weird and cruel and beautiful and ironic and random and unfair and no one knows what they’re doing but that’s weirdly comforting. We hope you dance to it

[Intro]
Where the birds and the bees and the flowers grow
There's a snake in the grass so we play in the snow
There's a sun in the sky beaming down on your head
Put your hands to the side and you hope for the best
[Verse 1]
Ali made a score
Made a milli, wanted more
Bought a house in Saint Tropez
Heard a knock upon his door
[Refrain]
What did he ever really know?
What do we ever really know?
[Verse 2]
A pretty girl, a teenage dream
Made a wife at seventeen
Made a movie, made a scene
And had a rude awakening
[Pre-Chorus]
What did she ever really know?
What did she ever really know?
[Chorus]
What do we ever really know, my dear?
If the world stopped spinning 'round again
Then I don't care
If the globe is frozen by October
Be my baby 'til it's over
[Verse 3]
(Where the birds and the bees and the flowers grow
There's a snake in the grass so we play—)
Used to listen for the call
Saying "You could have it all"
Try to be the number one
And then you question what it's for
[Pre-Chorus]
What do we ever really know?
What do we ever really know?
[Chorus]
What do we ever really know, my dear?
If the world stopped spinning 'round again
Then I, no, no, no, no, I don't care
If the globe is frozen by October
B-b-b-be my baby, be my baby now
[Bridge]
All we ever know is that we never know
All we ever know is that we never know
(All we ever know is that we never know)
(All we ever know is that we never know)
[Outro]
Every single day is a tidal wave
Call it growing pains
Maybe I'm the worst, maybe I'm okay
Just an animal, just an animal, just an ani-
I don't really know

“What Do We Ever Really Know?” is an existential crisis, peppered with a euphoric appreciation of the present. Feeling the weight of existence and all the intensities that come with ambition, but finding the sweet spot that lets you release all the tension and live in the reality that no one knows a...
