Nine Things Everybody Knows Lyrics

Lyric discussion by katiez 

Cover art for Nine Things Everybody Knows lyrics by Q And Not U

"DIAGNOSIS: Antisocial personality disorder SYMPTOMS: Persistent lying, substance abuse, aggressive behavior, superficial charm, sense of extreme entitlement, bed-wetting"

^^^ taken from "Wish You Were Here: An Essential Guide To Your Favorite Music Scenes" the author referred to Daryl Palumbo's (Glassjaw/Head Automatica) lyrics as an example of APD. this song's lyrics fit the description pretty well, too.

"if this is the cream of the crop, it's time to start burning some fields." - sense of extreme entitlement. the guy thinks he's the cream of the crop, but he isn't

"put the knife back in the medicine cabinet." - substance abuse and aggressive behavior. guy is taking drugs, gets a knife. why was the knife in the medicine cabinet in the first place? it's a common reoccurrence.

"you can make believe, enfant terrible." - persistent lying and antisocial. enfant terrible is a term used for when people's behavior or ideas annoy or shock someone.

and the oh so obvious: "the secret's out: you wet the bed." bed-wetting.

the song's about someone with Antisocial Personality Disorder IMO
