Lyrics
There isn't any faith in the product itself
There's nothing wrong here, it's good enough it could sell itself
That's a really nice slogan that you have to repeat
Maybe if you say it enough you can start to believe
Let me tell you that it isn't what you know
Or even who you know
But what you can forget
Now I know it's not your fault, and it never really is
You just wanna get going but you're messing up hers and his
But it really doesn't matter 'cause you do it the same
It's very complicated but you know that it has a name
Let me tell you that it isn't what you know
Or even who you know
But what you can forget
I'm gonna tell you that it isn't what you know
Or even who you know
But what you can forget
I'm gonna tell you that it isn't what you know
Or even who you know
But what you can forget
I'm gonna tell you that it isn't what you know
Or even who you know
But what you can forget
