[Verse 1] You stride in like a courthouse judge With every answer loaded up You name the clouds, you grade the rain Then tell the farmer how to plant his grain You know the cure, the cause, the cure again You’d teach a fish to swim and call it ten [Chorus] You talk like you know everything Every last thing under the sun I bet it’s grand to carry all that knowing But I’m fine with being wrong on one I’d rather miss a fact or two Than make a sermon out of every breath I draw You can keep your crown of certainty I’m good not being an insufferable ass [Verse 2] You correct the cook before the soup is stirred You finish every sentence, every word You’ve got a lesson for the passing breeze And footnotes for the buzzing of the bees I’ll take a quiet seat and let things be That’s not a lack of brains—it’s courtesy [Chorus] You talk like you know everything Every last thing under the sun I bet it’s grand to carry all that knowing But I’m fine with being wrong on one I’d rather miss a fact or two Than make a sermon out of every breath I draw You can keep your crown of certainty I’m good not being an insufferable ass [Bridge] Maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not Maybe the truth’s a little less tidy than you thought There’s room at this table for a question or two But there ain’t much room for a lecture from you [Final Chorus] You talk like you know everything Every last thing under the sun I bet it’s grand to carry all that knowing But I’m fine with being wrong on one I’d rather miss a fact or two Than make a sermon out of every breath I draw You can keep your crown of certainty I’m good not being an insufferable ass [Outro] Keep your crown, keep your last word I’ll keep my peace—and let the whole room be heard
