OPERATION IVY – Knowledge (studio/live)

Operation Ivy was an American punk rock band from Berkeley, California, formed in May 1987. They were critical to the emergence of Lookout Records and the so-called “East Bay Sound.”

The band’s name was derived from the Operation Ivy series of nuclear tests in 1952. Although the band released just one full-length album (Energy) before breaking up in May 1989, Operation Ivy is well remembered as the direct antecedent of popular band Rancid and for wielding a lasting stylistic influence over numerous other bands in what became the third wave ska movement.

I know things are getting tougher When you can’t get the top off the bottom of the barrel The Wide open road to my future now Is looking fuckin narrow

All I know is that I don’t know All I know is that I don’t know nothing All I know is that I don’t know All I know is that I don’t know nothing

We get told to decide Just like as if I’m not gunna change my mind

All I know is that I don’t know All I know is that I don’t know nothing All I know is that I don’t know All I know is that I don’t know nothing!

What you gonna do with yourself boy Better make up your mind What you gonna do with youself Boy Running out of time

This time I got it all figured out…

All I know is that I don’t know All I know is that I don’t know nothing

All I know is that I don’t know All I know is that I don’t know nothing

And that’s fine.
