D          E                 D 
Look at the world in disbelief 
               E               D 
You used to follow - now you lead 
                E      A          F#m 
College has enlightened you 
           D                 E 
And you are proud to be different 
   D           E                         D 
And like different bands - different types 
              E          A 
You ain't nobody's fool 
          A                     E                                        F#m 
It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated 
           C#m                             D 
'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing 
               A                      E 
And there's only one true fashion 
        A                                        E                        F#m 
And a lot of the bands on the college charts are great bands 
        C#m                                    D 
Until they get signed. Then you hate them. 
       A                      D                      E                        A 
It's such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite. 
         C#m      D                    A                       C#m                  D    A        
Know it all, know it all - did you really listen to that song? 
                         C#m                           D 
Could you ever write what you call wrong? 

      E                      D                     E                       D 
I remember you and I listening to bands that we liked 
                  E                        A                F#m 
Only the songs mattered to you 
                            D                 E                  D 
But now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype 
                      E 
"Corporate Rock Sucks" 
             D               E                          A 
"You know, college radio enlightens you" 
                           A                                E 
It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands 
                   F#m                    C#m 
Without prejudice, but it makes no sense 
          D                           A 
Safe harbor for the underground 
               D                                              E 
'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound 
             A                                      E 
The bands are good 'til they make enough cash 
           F#m                 C#m 
To eat food and get a pad 
                       D                                  A 
Then they've sold out and their music's cliché 
 D                   E                                            A 
Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay 

     C#m          D                A               C#m               D                 A           
Know it all, know it all - Did you really listen to that song? 
            C#m                                 D 
Could you ever write what you call wrong? 
       A 
Know it all
