When Will We Learn Lyrics

Tell me everything you heard
Tell me what you know
Is it really true about them
Is it really so
Do you believe everything we hear
And pass the news along
Until the day when the shit's about us
We won't understand their song
So we have nothing better to do with our time
And we feel that we must inquire
And we pay too much mind to what's not our affair
If we tell what he heard then we're liars
We know nothing at all until we stand
Far away from it all, as far as we can
My throat is sore from all these words
We know nothing at all
Will we
When will we learn
When will we learn
Yes we all are guilty of
What we say we despise
Even I have been known to
Tell a couple thousand lies
LIES...
Could this be yes that we are the topic
Of everyone's conversation asking
Who said this who said that is he fine is she fat
Step back and you'll see me laughing
We know nothing at all until we stand
Far away from it all, as far as we can
My throat is sore from all these words
We know nothing at all
Will we
We know nothing at all until we stand
Far away from it all, as far as we can
My throat is sore from all these words
We know nothing at all
Will we
We know nothing at all until we stand
Far away from it all, as far as we can
My throat is sore from all these words
We know nothing at all
Will we
We know nothing at all until we stand
Far away from it all, as far as we can
My throat is sore from all these words
We know nothing at all
Will we learn

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is absolutely fantastic! I can't believe no-one has posted any comments on it. On the meaning, I think it's about our obbsession with knowing about other people's lives; be they famous or just people we know. You can see this with programmes like that stupily pointless Big Brother which luckily has just finished it's 3 series here in England.

and also how we aren't immune from idle gossip (he admits to doing it himself) but we should strive not to gossip cos we could be at the end of it one day. Best Audiovent song by far! i love it
