(Mose Allison)
You say the world is mad
You say that you've been had

You don't like your part in the floor show
You say it's all a bust
There's no one you can trust

Well, tell me something that I don't know

You say the world's a mess

It's anybody's guess
As to who will deliver that low blow
You suffer from the strain

You don't dig pain
Well, tell me something that I don't know


You say there's some mistake
You didn't get your break
You don't see the magic in the moonglow

You're on a one way street
Your life is incomplete
Well, tell me something that I don't know


You're uptight
It ain't right

Well, tell me something that I don't know
