Little Know It All
Iggy Pop Lyrics

I'm the kid that no one knows
I'm an unknown person and nobody cares about me.

I live a life I never chose
I lead a life that I was not given the choice to live.

But these thoughts in my mind
However, my thoughts and feelings are my own unique expressions.

Are my own, my own
And I am proud of them.

I'm face to face with the unknown
I am always dealing with something that is out of my control.

My scary movie will be shown
My personal fears and doubts will be showcased and put into the spotlight.

I've got one evil mind
I am not perfect and sometimes have bad intentions or thoughts.

Of my own, of my own
But I still accept myself and my flaws as my own.

We take from one another
People are always taking things from other people without really considering how it affects them.

And never stop to wonder
They do not think or care about the other person's feelings or perspective.

How it feels from the other side
They do not think about how it would feel if they were in the other person's shoes.

Well, nothing lasts forever
Everything is temporary and does not last forever.

When stupid turns to clever
When people change their minds or opinions, it can change whether it is smart or not.

Why are you surprised?
Do not be surprised when things change or other people act differently.

Little know it all
People who act like they know everything but really do not.

Ten bucks in my hand
I have some money, but not much.

Don't cry, I understand
Do not get upset, I can empathize and relate to your situation.

I'm a target of the smart
Smart people often criticize or judge me.

They've got ambition, I've got heart
They might be driven, but I lead with my emotions and passions.

Analysed and tagged
People are always trying to figure me out and put me in a box.

Before I start
Before I even have a chance to prove myself or make my own mark.

So tell me, who can I respect?
I am unsure of who to trust or look up to.

I feel a leash around my neck
I feel trapped or controlled by someone or something.

I find out there's shame in the game
I learn that there is something shameful or bad about a certain situation or game.

And I feel like I'm caught outside the box
I feel like an outsider, excluded or not fitting in with the people around me.

And I feel like I'm sleeping when I'm not
I feel numb or disconnected, even when I am awake.

Looking for the real thing
I am searching for something authentic and true in my life.

Little know it all
People who act like they know everything but really do not.

Ten bucks in my hand
I have some money, but not much.

Don't cry, I understand
Do not get upset, I can empathize and relate to your situation.

You'll never know it all
Nobody knows everything, and that's okay.
