They don’t know shit.
Monday morning quarterbacks.
IMF economic flunkies
”I told you so”s
This president, the next prime minister
Critics, commentators
Preachers, prognosticators
Even the weatherman and
the girl next door participate
in this farcical spectacle …
They all saw it coming.
“I knew he’d one day shoot up the school.”
they’d say.
“I could have told you it would be
the Lakers in 6.”
“Anyone could have figured it out -
that one day, he’d beat the shit outta her.”
“Could have seen that coming a mile away - bank failures.”
“We all knew God would act and revenge our name.”
There are so many experts in tragedy,
after the fact.
But where were they before
while the demented lady
screamed fire in the dining car?
They don’t know shit.
All they are good at is
after math.

Slippery People - Talking Heads
What about the time?
You were rollin' over
Fall on your face
You must be having fun
Walk lightly
Think of a time
You'd best believe
This thing is real
Put away that gun
This part is simple
Try to recognize
What is in your mind?
God help us
Help us lose our minds
These slippery people
Help us understand
What's the matter with him? (He's alright)
I'll see his face (the Lord won't mind)
Don't play no games (he's alright)
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel (he's alright)
See for yourself (the Lord won't mind)
We're gonna move (right now)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
I remember when
Sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug
The water was runnin' out
Cool down
Stop actin' crazy
They're gonna leave
And we'll be on our own
Seven times five
They were living creatures
Watch 'em come to life
Right before your eyes
Backslidin'
How do you do?
These slippery people
Gonna see you through
What's the matter with him? (He's alright)
How do you know? (The Lord won't mind)
Don't throw him no games (he's alright)
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel (he's alright)
See for yourself (the Lord won't mind)
We're gonna move (right now)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
What's the matter with him? (He's alright)
I'll see his face (the Lord won't mind)
How do you know? (He's alright)
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel (he's alright)
See for yourself (the Lord won't mind)
We're gonna move (right now)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
What's the matter with him? (He's alright)
I'll see his face (The lord won't mind)
