about

"What would you do if you'd know the whole truth? ... Nothing. This is what 'The Joy Of Not Knowing' is all about. We live in a world where ignorance is bliss. Where lying, cowardice, laziness, and seeing only oneself and not the greater good has become the breeding ground for a very distorted view of reality, one that has given way to the conspiracy theories and half-truths appearing in this video. We hope it spurs the conversation for how we can find our way back to a society that honors authenticity and truthfulness in all forms.”

Der Song, the Joy of not knowing" mit der Kernzeile "What would you do if you´d know the whole truth - Nothing" geht genau um Dinge wie Ignoranz, Lüge, Feigheit, Bequemlichkeit, "Satt" sein - nicht nach Links oder Recht sehen, nur sich selbst sehen und sich wichtig machen - Perfekter Nährboden für Dummes Nachgeplapper und verzerrte Sichtweise der Realität - Die dann in diese ganzen Verschwörungstheorien und Halbwahrheiten zu folge haben. Hier ist der eindeutige Zusammenhang zwischen Songinhalt und Videostatements. Wenn sich nun auch andere fragen was die Statements mit dem Text zu tun haben haben wir erreicht was wir wollten... [Tom Berger]

lyrics

The Joy of not knowing

What would you do if i leave you
How long would it take before i am replaced?
Tell me what more do you need
to look the other way and not ask around

I do what I do to be the biggest one
All for me, the rest can go to hell
Who do you think you are?
Marc Zuckerberg or another stupid Superstar?


What would you do if you´d know the whole truth? - Nothing!
What if all rumors turned out to be true? - Nothing!
The Joy of not knowing.


Do you fall asleep before you´re dreaming?
Why do you stay when you have to go?
Is it fake or is it true or just a feeling?
You say it´s right but you know it's wrong

Some makes you run, some makes you walking
why do you hate what you once loved?
everybody´s quiet but you are talking
while the world keeps going round and round…
