about

I used the name of a childhood friend for this one, but it's not about him. Everybody I know has a story like this.

lyrics

Jono and I sang choir when we were very young
I have stories I could tell
The fights we had back then were all in good fun
Brush them off like dirt after we fell
Lately, it's a different kind of fighting
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing

All the information at fingertips
Jono overwhelmed by all he sees
He starts to filter out and to cherrypick
Trying to confirm what he believes
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king (or so they say)
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing

Roaring out his rants all free of fact check
Jono says the news is only lies
I can see the veins bulging on his neck
Watch him dot his T's and cross his I's
Lately, it's the only song I hear him sing
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
