I know that things are getting tougher
When you can't get the top off from
the bottom of the barrel,
Wide open road of my future now...
It's looking fucking narrow.

All I know is that I don't know nothing.
We get told to decide.
Just like as if I'm not going to change my mind.

All I know is that I don't know nothing.
Whatcha gonna do with yourself,
Boy better make up your mind...

Whatcha gonna do with yourself boy,
You're running out of time.

This time I got it all figured out:
All I know is that I don't know nothing...
And that's fine.

    General Comment:This song is about coming to terms with the fact that your life is going nowhere, you don't have a clue about what's gonna happen next, and being okay with that, "All I know is that I don't know nothin'...and that's fine"

    General Comment:This is a decent cover... the original fuckin' DESTROYS it though... Millencolin and the Aquabats have also covered it. One of the greatest punk songs of all time.

    General Comment:HELL YEAH!!! They played this live and it was great!
    Actually it's also sort of my theme song at the moment. You know when you get to about sixteen and everyones forcing you to choose what career you want to do and are you staying in school or going to a college and after that are you going to uni or getting an apprenticeship....

    And it makes me want to scream because when it comes to my future I'm completely indecisive and "all I know is that I don't know"

    Sorry about the rant there.
