No One Knows Nothing Any More Lyrics - Tooth & Nail - Billy Bragg

Deep down in the underground, atoms spinning round and round 

Scientists monitor readings 

Searching for the Holy Grail, the particle or at least the tale 

Of the one who gives the universe its meaning. 

But what if there's nothing, no big answer to find? 

What if we're just passing through time? 

No one knows nothing anymore 

Nobody really knows the score 

Nobody knows anything 

Let's break it down and start again 

What happens when the markets drop, 

If the numbers really don't add up? 

Everyone seeks the safe haven. 

And as they contemplate their ruin, 

The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room 

Are trying very hard not to sound craven 

But what if there's nothing, no pot of gold to find? 

Only the blind leading the blind. 

No one knows nothing anymore 

Nobody really knows the score 

Seems nobody knows anything 

Let's break it down and start again 

Let's stop pretending 

We can manage our way out of here. 

Let's stop defending the indefensible. 

Let's stop relying on 

The lecturing of the experts 

Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible. 

High up on a mountain top, somebody with a skinned crop 

Is thinking deep thoughts for us all. 

Serenity is all around, but if you listen you can hear the sound 

Of one head being banged against the wall. 

But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees 

Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries? 

No one knows nothing anymore 

Nobody really knows the score 

Since nobody knows anything 

Let's break it down and start again
