Lyrics

What I Am

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.

I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know, know what I mean

I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know, know what I mean

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box

Religion is a smile on a dog

I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know, know what I mean

(Know what I mean)

Shove me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep

Shove me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am

Are you what you are, or what?

What I am is what I am

Are you what you are, or what?

Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks

Religion is a light in the fog

I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know

(Know what I mean)

I know what I know

I'm not aware

(Know what I mean)

I know what I know

(Know what I mean)

Know what I mean

(Know what I mean)

(Know what I mean)

I know what I know

(Know what I mean)

I'm not aware, I'm not aware

(Know what I mean)

I know what I know, I know

I know

(Know what I mean)

I know, know

(Know what I mean)

Know, know

I know, know

Know, know

Know, know

Know what I mean
