Bastard Lyrics
Artist(Band):Ben Folds
The old bastard left his ties and his suit
A brown box, mothballs and bowling shoes
and his opinion so you'd never have to choose
Pretty soon, you'll be an old bastard too
You get smaller while the world gets big
The more you know you know you don't know shit
The whiz man'll never fit you like the whiz kid did
So why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
It's okay if you don't know everything
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
It's okay if you don't know everything
Close your eyes close your ears young man
You've seen and heard all an old man can
Spread the facts on the floor like a fan
throw away the ones that make you feel bad
Kids today gettin' old too fast
they can't wait to grow up so they can kiss some ass
They get nostalgic about the last ten years
before the last ten years have passed
why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
It's okay if you don't know everything
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
It's okay if you don't know everything
Tears land on a hand on the chest
The old bastard had a paradigm arrest
You got smaller and the world got big
The more you knew we knew we didn't know shit
The whiz man never fit him like the whiz kid did
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
cause It's okay if you don't know everything
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
It's okay if you don't know everything

Review about Bastard
Whiz Man | Reviewer: Kitsunegari | 4/23/2008
I love Ben Folds lyrics in general, not to sound like the usual rabid zealot fan, but the guys a genius. I could pretend he's deep and layered, and go all Freudian on readers..and well..it has all that sort of stuff in it. It resonates with me, and I'm even a female fan who knows this song applies to friends with "Bastard" male role models. The lyrics are just one layer, the tune is another that makes it even richer. I love this song. It's awesome I give it a 9 out of 10..It'd have given a 10, but dammit, I he mildly swore in the song & I can't put it on my MP3 mix & play it at work in case some little old lady get 'offended'.
