Lyrics
I will always know better
So I really don't see
A problem with knowing the answer
In the absence of those who agree

I've got access to information
That's very hard to find
So you must forgive me
For taking up your time

You see, I've done my research
A lesson should be taught
So when you tell me why you're right
I'll show you how you're not

I'll engage you and persuade you
Help you make up your mind
I implore you, I adore you
I would never lead you blind

To let you go on, knowing you're wrong
Would be worse than unkind
'Cause in time, you will find
I know better

I've got references and contacts
A reputation to uphold
I've been accused of more than a few
Of my tactics being cold

But none of that should really matter
Clearly, you could use my help
I've done it before and I'll do it again
My record speaks for itself

I'll engage you and persuade you
Help you make up your mind
I implore you, I adore you
I would never lead you blind

To let you go on, knowing you're wrong
Would be worse than unkind
'Cause in time, you will find
I know better

I won't let 'em do to you
The things they did to me
(Did to me, did to me)
Yeah, they'll plant it right inside your brain
Like a digital disease

I just want you to hear me out
(Hear me out)
And then I'm sure you'll agree
That this is what they don't want you to see

I'll engage you and persuade you
Help you make up your mind
I implore you, I adore you
I would never lead you blind

To let you go on, knowing you're wrong
Would be worse than unkind
'Cause in time, you will find
I know better

Yes in time, you will find
I know better
