There is something I don?t know
That I am supposed to know.
I don?t know what it is I don?t know,
And yet I am supposed to know,
And I feel I look stupid
If I seem both not to know it
And not to know what it is I don?t know.
Therefore I pretend I know it.
This is nerve racking
Since I don?t know what I must pretend
to know.
Therefore I pretend to know everything.
I feel you know what I am supposed to
know,
But you can't tell me what it is
Because you don?t know that I don?t know
what it is.
You may know what it is I don?t know,
but not that I don?t know it,
And I can?t tell you. So you will have
to tell me everything.
