Mark Knopfler Lyrics

Album: A Ragpicker's Dream

You Don't Know You're Born Lyrics

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE HAMMER AND THE SPIKE 

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FARM 

YOU DON'T KNOW 

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE 

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW 

YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BORN 

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE HAMMER AND THE CHISEL 

YOU ONLY KNOW THE KITCHEN AND THE WARM 

YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE NIGHT SHIFT WHISTLE 

PUNCHING THE CLOCK TO THE HORN 

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW 

YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BORN 

YOU DON'T KNOW 

YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BORN 

YOU DON'T KNOW 

YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BORN 

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE HAMMER AND THE NAILS 

KNOW ABOUT THE THISTLES AND THE THORNS 

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ROAD AND THE RAILS 

YOUR HEART SO WEARY AND YOUR HANDS ALL WORN 

YOUR HANDS SO WEARY AND YOUR HEART ALL TORN 

AND YOU DON'T KNOW 

YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BORN
