A song by Carol Johnston
Those Who Know, They Know
Strength & Defiance 3:45 Date:
A personal note from Carol
It's more about new ideas clashing with old ideas, and those who act as the "gatekeepers" against new knowledge, science and discoveries.
— Carol
Lyrics
Those who know, they know
Those who don't, they don't
Those who will, they will
Those who won't, they won't
Sometimes some people do it
Sometimes some people lose it
Sometimes some people prove it
Sometimes some people knew it
Preconceived ideas
Pervade upon the world
As notions deep invade
The view emerges swirled
Twisting up the mind
Spiraling down in kind
Images entwined
Screwing up mankind
If it's false, it's false
If it's true, it's true
If its old, it's old
If it's new, it's new
Somewhere a someone tries it
Somewhere a someone hides it
Somewhere a someone finds it
Somewhere a someone binds it
As predetermined thoughts
Fight hard against the tide
The Old blockade the New
As new ideas arise
Obstacles they form
Safeguarding the norm
Shielding from the storm
From the rising swarm
Those who know, they know
Those who don't, they don't
Those who will, they will
Those who won't, they won't
Sometimes somebody gets it
Sometimes somebody frets it
Sometimes somebody lets it
Sometimes somebody vets it
The innovations come
From unexpected points
You turn your head around
The words won't disappoint
Bringing in the new
Something to review
Some ideas taboo
Need to be pursued
If it's false, it's false
If it's true, it's true
If its old, it's old
If it's new, it's new
Those ideas are true
Need to be pursued
Visions show a view
Of a world renewed
Bringing in the new
For a world renewed
It's a world renewed
