The Down Low — Nellie McKay

I don't see nothing, I don't see nothing I don't see nothing I don't see nothing

It isn't bad to know your limitations That we know can come to good But if you had to know your situation I see no reason you should You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear It's on the down low Don't you find it Anything you hear It's on the down low Don't you mind it Hold your head up high That will see you through Dry your little eyes Don't mess up your life by seeking truth

It isn't hard to get an education Know you want to come to good But, you can hardly bet on imitation I see no reason you should You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear It's on the down low You won't find that Anything you hear It's on the down low Don't you mind it Walk right down the stairs That will see you through Don't mess up your life by seeking the truth

You, you should lay the flowers where the sun does shine Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga Hojole (Hijole?)

I spend all my idle hours biding time I know it ends some day

It isn't bad to diss your situation That we know can come to good But you'd be mad to miss your coronation And I see no reason you should You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear Its on the down low Don't you find it Anything you hear It's on the down low Don't you mind it Hold your head up high That will see you through Dry your little eyes Don't mess up your life you're over reaching Trying to find to seek the truth...

I don't see nothing I don't see nothing I don't see nothing I don't see nothing I don't see nothing I don't see nothing I don't see nothing I don't see nothing...
