about

This song is about how we don’t get much time to not know things. Like if the thought popped in your head “Where’s Tom Petty from?” you used to just not know for a while. You would think about it, you would ask people, and for days, weeks, months you just wouldn’t know, and you would feel that yearning. Then one day you’d see someone with a Tom Petty shirt and you’d ask “Where’s Tom Petty from?” and they’d say “Florida” and a wave of satisfaction would roll over you (credit comedian Pete Holmes for sparking this idea).

Now can just look it up. Which isn’t a bad thing, it just means we’ve lost that feeling. Now “We Already Know” everything.

lyrics

We don’t we don’t get to be confused wonder wondering the
Boring common everyday nothing is never coming back
Cannot cannot feel an emptiness growing counting on the killer killer to cut it out of me cut it out of me

We already know that we already know
We already know that we know everything

Never never never innocent there is no need to be
Tempted tested a serpent is an excess needless superfluous
Redundant redundance we already know no deficit to fill no longing for a thing never any yearning

We don’t have to learn that we already know
We don’t have to learn no we don’t learn a thing
