Ought to Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You throw caution to the wind
You toss everyone aside
Put it on your lucky number
And you let it all ride
I can’t tell you nothing
That you don’t already know
You’re bangin’ on the dashboard
Is this as fast as it’ll go
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
It’s gonna drag you down
You ought to know by now
We’ve heard all the stories
First you trip and then you fall
You don’t heed no warning
You’ve probably seen it all
We watched you from the cheap seats
With the whole world in your hand
Your time is running out now
Like so many grains of sand
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
It’s gonna drag you down
You ought to know by now
I’ve seen you light up the sky
When you had the fire in your eyes
I guess it’s just a matter of time
Till you reach the end
The end of your line
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
It’s gonna drag you down
You ought to know by now
