You Don't Know

Cyndi Lauper

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 left, and what's right?
You're told what to wear
you're told what to like
it'd be nice if you'd think for yourself sometime
but you don't
 
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
 
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?
 
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
