CYNDI LAUPER LYRICS - You Don't Know

"You Don't Know"



You don't know where you belong

You should be more careful

As you follow blindly along...

You just need to belong somehow.



Relying on rhetoric...

Not well versed on topics...

Any idea what you're talking about?

Revisions of history

Fair well in some company

But don't shove that bullshit down my throat



You don't know where you belong...

You should be more careful

As you follow blindly along...

To find something to swear to...

Till you don't know what's right from wrong

You just need to belong somehow.



Left suppresses right

Right suppresses left

So what's the left, and what's right?

You're told what to wear,

You're told what to like

I'd be nice if you'd think for yourself sometime,

But you don't.



Now you don't know where you belong...

You should be more careful

As you follow blindly along...



Mix sheer hypocrisy with mediocrity

You'll play it safe every time -

So life turns up empty

And you're so dissatisfied

Who are you blaming this time?

Don't you know?
