Knowing People

Matthew Sweet

Are you made like God

When you start to bleed

Do you really know

What it is to breathe

Without a mind to think

Or a hand in fate

You're an animal

Filled with love and hate



And you

And the way you move

And the things you say

Your desperate dreams

Are pathetic



I don't like knowing people

I don't like people knowing about me

I don't like knowing people

I don't like people knowing about me



Why should we care

What we do or say

Why would we long

For yesterday

What is here

And who wants to stay

No lasting life

And no judgement day



And the fact of you

And the way you move

And the things you say

Your desperate dreams

Are pathetic



I don't like knowing people

I don't like people knowing about me

I don't like knowing people

I don't like people knowing about me

What are you lookin' at?



I don't like knowing people

I don't like people knowing about me

I don't like knowing people

I don't like people knowing about me



I don't like knowing people

And I don't like people knowing about me

I don't like knowing people

And I don't like people knowing about me

Get out of here
