The Know

This is one of the more recent songs I wrote. I wanted it to be psychologically powerful, but also rather simple. I read a book a little while back about religion, and there was a section on "strategic information" that caught my attention. It basically talked about how gods are usually beings who know all your secrets (strategic information). And that is a very powerful psychological tool that impacts many people into being good for god. I took the god part out and made it a social idea. So this is a simple idea that is loosely based on what I read:

(verse1)
Oh if you knew
the things I say
I talk of you
I do, I do

and if you knew
we lied to you
there's things we say
when you are gone
you don't know of
it's true

(verse2)
oh you won't know
quite what to change
or ever even
know to change

we quiet down
when your around
there's different things
to talk about
and I won't make a sound

(chorus)
of what we would change in you
while you speak so loud
or does it matter?
maybe you don't care
or you care too much
so close but out of touch

(Verse3)
oh if I knew
the things you say
of how I should change
I do, I do
