Lyrics for Song: Bastard
Lyrics for Album: Songs for Silverman [2005]
The old bastard left his ties and his suit
A brown box, moth balls and bowling shoes
And his opinion so you never have to choose
Pretty soon, you'll be an old bastard too.
You get smaller while the world gets big
The more you know, you know, you don't know shit.
The "wiz-man'll" never fit like the "wiz-kid" did.
CHORUS:
So why d'you gotta act like you know
When you don't know.
Its okay if you don't know everything
Why d'you gotta act like you know and you don't know
It's okay if you don't know everything
Close your eyes, close your ears young man
You've seen and heard all an old man can
Spread the facts on the floor like a fan
Throw away the one's that make you feel bad
Kids today are getting old too fast
They can't wait to grow up
So they can kick some ass
The get nostalgic about the last ten years
Before the last ten years have past
((chorus))
Tears land on a hand on a chest
The old bastard the had a paradigm arrest
He got smaller and the world got big
The more he knew he knew he didn't know shit
The "wiz-man" never fit him like the "wiz-kid" did
((chorus))
