two points for honesty (guster)

"if that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time.
you've dreamed a thousand dreams - none seem to stick in your mind.
two points for honesty,
it must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all."

i want to be where i've never been before,
i want to be there and then i'd understand.
know i'm right and do it right - could i get to be like that?
i'll know what i don't know with nothing more to gain.

will i get better or stay the same?
i find i always move too slowly.
can't lift a finger, can't change my mind...
i never knew 'till someone told me that,

"if that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time.
you've dreamed a thousand dreams - none seem to stick in your mind.
two points for honesty,
it must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all."

and all the people who've seen it all before,
and all the people who really understand,
know they're right and have done it right - could i get to be like that?
i'll know what i don't know, it's harder every day.

can't lift a finger, can't hurt a fly.
i've found i always move too slowly.
one thing's for certain - i'm insecure.
i never knew 'till someone told me that,

"if that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time.
you've dreamed a thousand dreams - none seem to stick in your mind.
two points for honesty,
it must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all.
nobody cares at all,
they never care at all."
