Lyrics[]
[Talking:]
This is the old dude Howie J. Reynolds
and you're listening to Less Than Jake
I think, I think I know it all
But can I be sure of the things I've grown to know about
and can I say I know it all
When rules just guide me to blindly follow
And things are automatic when you see them everyday (everyday)
Is it the same routine or just your fucked up dreams
that keep you walking mindless all the way?
I think, I think I know it all
But is our beliefs just stringing us along?
And was there something wrong in what I heard
for every hour of the day?
And things are automatic when you see them everyday (everyday)
Is it the same routine or just your fucked up dreams
that keep you walking mindless all the way?
I think, I think I know it all
I think, I think I know it all
And things are automatic when you see them everyday (everyday)
Is it the same routine or just your fucked up dreams
that keep you walking mindless all the way?
