Deep down in the underground, atoms spinning round and round
Scientists monitor readings
Searching for the Holy Grail, the particle or at least the tale
Of the one who gives the universe its meaning.
But what if there's nothing, no big answer to find?
What if we're just passing through time?
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
What happens when the markets drop,
If the numbers really don't add up?
Everyone seeks the safe haven.
And as they contemplate their ruin,
The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room
Are trying very hard not to sound craven
But what if there's nothing, no pot of gold to find?
Only the blind leading the blind.
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Seems nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
Let's stop pretending
We can manage our way out of here.
Let's stop defending the indefensible.
Let's stop relying on
The lecturing of the experts
Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible.
High up on a mountain top, somebody with a skinned crop
Is thinking deep thoughts for us all.
Serenity is all around, but if you listen you can hear the sound
Of one head being banged against the wall.
But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees
Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries?
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Since nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again

Billy Bragg è un cantautore, chitarrista e attivista britannico nato a Barking, Essex, nel 1957. La sua musica combina elementi folk, punk e soul con tematiche politiche e sociali nei testi, assimilabile alla tradizione della canzone di protesta. Bragg ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '80, influenzato da artisti come Woody Guthrie e Bob Dylan. Il suo stile diretto e le sue canzoni incisive hanno conquistato un pubblico ampio e lo hanno consacrato come uno dei più importanti cantautori britannici. Tra i suoi album più noti figurano "Brewing Up a Storm" (1986), "Talking with the Taxman About Poetry" (1989) e "Mermaid Avenue" (1998), realizzato in collaborazione con Wilco e Ralph Stanley, che rivisita le canzoni inedite di Woody Guthrie. Bragg è anche un attivista politico impegnato nella lotta per i diritti dei lavoratori e contro l'ingiustizia sociale. La sua musica ha sempre riflettuto la sua visione del mondo e il suo impegno civile.
