| You can read between the lines |
| I don’t wanna try your patience |
| I just want to let, you know |
| Exactly what’s been goin' down |
| If you’re gonna stay alive |
| Know that all is strong, survive |
| Precision offspring of the sort |
| Major fallen minor chord |
| And there’s only so much time |
| So, let me lay it on the line |
| Go for what you know |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know |
| Go for what you know |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know |
| I don’t mean to cramp your style |
| Don’t even wanna 'cause confusion |
| If survival of the fittest know |
| It’s time to eat the fatted cow |
| Come on, give it all you’ve gotta |
| A strong intentioned jugger shot |
| Nothing wrong with being rude |
| If rudeness helps your attitude |
| I don’t mean to be unkind |
| But your only passes were one time |
| Got to go for what you know |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know |
| Go for what you know |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know (Oh!) |
| Got to make that dollar |
| Go for what you know |
| And make a little dough |
| It all goes to show |
| It’s not just who you know |
| It’s what you know |
| Go for what you know |
| And make a little dough |
| It all goes to show |
| It’s not just what you know |
| It’s who you know |
| Just wanna do it to ya |
| Go for what you know |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know |
| (Got to play a little dirty) |
| Go for what you know |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know |
| ('Cause it’s a war out there) |
| Go for what you know |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know |
| (You've got to crack for the walk) |
| Go for what you know, uh |
| You’ve got to go |
| For what you know |
| Go for what you know! |
