Information (The More I Learn)

Information comes to me
Saying it wants to be free
Information leaves no room for doubt
It's a firehose that wants to put me out

Information everywhere
Shooting silent through the air
I watch page after blank page fill up with words
Detached from the author, whose ends do they serve?

And it's a chain that winds me, grinds me, binds me to the facts
I can't relax when I'm under its attack

It seems the more I learn, the less I seem to know
The more I learn, the less I seem to know
I'm qualified for my degree in status quo
The more I learn, the less I seem to know

Information's what is said
By the loudest talking head
We snatch up every scrap before it's gone
We swallow it and we become its pawn

And it's a chain that winds me, grinds me, blinds me to the facts
I can't relax when I'm under its attack

Somehow the more I learn, the less I seem to know
The more I learn, the less I seem to know
I'm tired of believing everything I'm shown
The more I learn, the less I seem to know

Know, no, no
Know, no, no

The more I learn, the less I seem to know
The more I learn, the less I seem to know
Is this knowledge wisdom or is it just for show?
The more I learn, the less I seem to know

The more I learn, the less I know
The more I learn, the less I know
