Built to Spill
Conventional Wisdom
[Verse 1]
Sometimes life surprises
Because you'd never expect it to be that
Dangerous disguises
That you never expect to see

[Chorus]
Some things never change
Nothing's going to change that
Some things you can't explain
Like why we're all embracing conventional wisdom in a world that's just so unconventional

[Verse 2]
Made you turn around
But you never expected to see that
That's what makes that sound
That you never expect to hear

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
They don't know they're wrong
But you know that they never can see that
That's what makes them strong
That they know that we'll never see
