It's Not For Me To Know
Ramones · Adios Amigos! [1995]
Easy come and easy go for me that was the fun
It was something that I didn't think was so bad
Now I'm lookin' out my window but I don't know
where I am
And I've give up trying to understand what I can't
I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
I stood under the moonlight to ill-luminate myself
Something I fell into from being kicked around
I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
No one seemed to notice seeing from smoke screen eyes
You can get what you want but I don't think it is true
I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It was something that I didn't think was so bad
Now I'm lookin' out my window but I don't know
where I am
And I've give up trying to understand what I can't
I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
I stood under the moonlight to ill-luminate myself
Something I fell into from being kicked around
I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
No one seemed to notice seeing from smoke screen eyes
You can get what you want but I don't think it is true
I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's Not For Me To Know
Released on the 1995 compilation Adios Amigos!, "It's Not For Me To Know" is a quintessential Ramones track that encapsulates the band's signature punk energy. The song features the group's characteristic driving rhythm and distorted guitars, delivered with the band's trademark vocal style. As part of their extensive discography, this recording highlights the raw, unpolished aesthetic that defined the New York punk scene of the late 1970s. The track serves as a reminder of the Ramones' enduring influence on alternative rock and their ability to craft high-energy anthems that remain relevant decades later.
