I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean, do ya?

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean, do ya?

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get to deep

What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?

Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep...
