Once I knew how the world worked
You earned your bread, said your prayers well
You loved your own, you helped your neighbour

Now I don't know anything anymore

Once I knew what was wrong and right
God was good, black was never white
Once I knew what I was livin' for

Now I don't know anything anymore

I see her face everywhere
I hear her voice across the air
I drove all kindness from my door

Now I don't have anything anymore
No, I don't know anything anymore
