  • Jack from school
    He listened to Bowie
    People thought he was cool
    He used to live for the feel
    Skating around up in the Hollywood Hills

    But no one knows
    He's talking it up
    That it's all for show
    He's boring as fuck

    You're Mr. Know-It-All
    She's staring at her phone
    And even though you sit together
    You feel so alone
    It's such a tragedy
    When people hardly speak
    Try to live up to the person you pretend to be
    You're Mr. Know-It-All

    You're Mr. Know-It

    Jill liked art
    She listened to Mozart
    People thought she was smart
    She used to quote Hemingway
    Trippin' on acid in the Palisades
    But no one knows
    That it's all for show

    You're Mrs. Know-It-All
    He's staring at his phone
    And even though you sit together
    You feel so alone
    It's such a tragedy
    When people hardly speak
    Try to live up to the person you pretend to be

    You must have known I tried to change
    Would love to say hello
    Please, don't hang up
    Afraid of what I'd say
    Hello, hello, hello
    I'm Mr. Know-It-All

    I'm Mr. Know-It-All
    Staring at my phone
    And even though we sit together
    I feel so alone
    It's such a tragedy
    We always used to speak
    Try to live up to the person I pretend to be
    I'm Mr. Know-It Writer/s: Alex Salibian, Eric Cannata, Francois Comtois, Jacob Tilley, Payam Doostzadeh, Sameer Gadhia
