Lyrics Now I Know - They Might Be Giants

Now I Know

Now I know
Why they said not to cut the blue wire
Now I know
I know that I only wish I
Could reach my hand into the past
Prevent the die from being cast
That made it so
Now I know
If there’s one thing I can’t stand
It’s when I stand corrected, hat in hand
But that’s untrue, for there are two
There’s one more thing that I can’t stand
That the amount of things is wrong
And it will have to be revised
Now I’m wise
It’s the red wire I see that now
Because I’m wise
I only wish that there were any wires
Left to cut at all
Then I’d be set
It takes a tall man to admit
He once was small
But now I know
