V3 mostly just vox fatigue fix, some drum tweaking

No change for V2

lyrics

I only know as much as I can know
I have only one head
And one life in which to fill it
To fill it up

Play the fool
When you don’t know what else to do
Play the fool
And ignore those who scorn you

No fucks to give anymore
No fucks to give anyone
If no one cares, why should I?
What a race to the bottom!

If you really wanted you would learn to act right
You could learn a lot of things just to stay alive
Yes the cost is higher if you’re starting right at naught
Or if you were taught that the whole world is dog-eat-dog

Can you really blame someone for sharing what they know?
Is it any wonder some are high and some are low?
As for wanting credit when they rush to save the day —
Would you rather no one ever tried in any way?

I only know as much as I can know
I have only one head
And one life in which to fill it
To fill it up

Play the fool
When you don’t know what else to do
Play the fool
And ignore those who scorn you
