Look at the world in disbelief
               E               D
You used to follow - now you lead
                E      A          F#m
College has enlightened you
           D                 E
And you are proud to be different
   D           E                         D
And like different bands - different types
              E          A
You ain't nobody's fool
          A                     E                                        F#m
It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated
           C#m                             D
'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing
               A                      E
And there's only one true fashion
        A                                        E                        F#m
And a lot of the bands on the college charts are great bands
        C#m                                    D
Until they get signed. Then you hate them.
       A                      D                      E                        A
It's such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite.
         C#m      D                    A                       C#m                  D    A       
Know it all, know it all - did you really listen to that song?
                         C#m                           D
Could you ever write what you call wrong?

      E                      D                     E                       D
I remember you and I listening to bands that we liked
                  E                        A                F#m
Only the songs mattered to you
                            D                 E                  D
But now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype
                      E
"Corporate Rock Sucks"
             D               E                          A
"You know, college radio enlightens you"
                           A                                E
It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands
                   F#m                    C#m
Without prejudice, but it makes no sense
          D                           A
Safe harbor for the underground
               D                                              E
'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound
             A                                      E
The bands are good 'til they make enough cash
           F#m                 C#m
To eat food and get a pad
                       D                                  A
Then they've sold out and their music's cliché
 D                   E                                            A
Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay

     C#m          D                A               C#m               D                 A          
Know it all, know it all - Did you really listen to that song?
            C#m                                 D
Could you ever write what you call wrong?
