Description

This is another Ex-Kings song. It turned out the best out of all the songs we recorded. Lyrically it's a mess and the song is essentially meaningless. We wanted the riff to be the focus and the lyrics to just kind of be background noise.

Lyrics

I Don't Know © 2007

Heart attack. No empty promise shall prevail
Dirty cash. Redemption comes from what you sell
Take it back and burn this soulless effigy
Paint it black and turn this house in to debris
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
Why I'm feeling so spread thin.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
Why I'm feeling so spread thin.
I don't know I don't know I don't know, mama
I don't know.

Take it back. You'll never get what you put in.
Watch your back. They're gonna tear you limb from limb
It's like a holy war that no one cares enough to fight.
Give me more cause I don't care who's wrong or right.I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
Why I'm feeling so spread thin.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
Why I'm feeling so spread thin.
I don't know I don't know I don't know, mama
I don't know.

Take it back, etc.

I don't know, etc.

	bass You're the third person to comment on the bass... which is great. I think you're dead on about that. The bass focuses the listener in on the riff and hopefull inspires them to get in to the song. Thanks for stopping by and for listening! Check out my latest song called Anarchy, Inc.

i dont know
i listened to this yesterday and it's still in my head, so i thought i'd better come back. great song and super catchy (I don't know I don't know I don't know, mama
I don't know!) and rocking. Reminds me of The Hives and The Vines too. Youve tapped into something very current with this and imo could be a big hit if the 'right' ears listen. please keep posting more like this I LOVE it! faved and downloaded.

	great feedback sound on the intro. Reminds me of The Hives. I LIKE it.... good hook -' I don't know', to me that phrase is totally on the mark - for everyone. Lyrically sound. Quality. Check out my latest song called twenty seven

	We're cheaters The feedback is actually a keyboard (B) run through a Tweak Fuzz pedal. It does add a little extra. I'm glad you liked it! Check out my latest song called Anarchy, Inc.

	Got the blood going! If a tune can get this 43-year old dude to bang his head a little, then it has to be terrific! Nice song! Love the groove and the energy--and as others have said, the "I don't know" fits beautifully with the frenetic pace of the song. Glad I caught this! Check out my latest song called Defining Moment

Lennon714	Lennon714 said 609 days ago (March 26th, 2008)
	Thanks! I'm glad you found it, too. I'm pretty self-conscious about the lyrics because they were changed at the last minute and don't make a lot of sense. On purpose, but still I get a lot of "What does this song mean" from friends. "uh.. nothing". At least it works! Check out my latest song called Anarchy, Inc.

	Spread thin The lyrics on this are great actually, even when pushed so far back. Great licks, tenuous breaks. This would have been great on the CBGB's challenge a few weeks ago. Lots of rpm's to spare. Love it. Philip Check out my latest song called Frank's Song

	VERY NICE This song is AMAZING. I'm in love with the bass line. Like. you have no idea. This is a very good song! I love the sound you get! It sounds a lot like the Hives, but then at the same time it doesn't.. Love this song! >>KURTIS Check out my latest song called Possibly Maybe

I love the beefy riff. You accomplished the task you set out on, but the vocals are nothing close to background noise. I downloaded this a while ago and just never made the time to comment.

For some strange reason, I think of Leonard Graves Phillips - the lead singer for the Dickies when I hear this song. The vocals are fantastic and very expressive.
