Lyrics
Click a line to jump near it in the song.
He read one article — alright, he read the headline —
now he's telling a surgeon how to hold the knife,
he's got a theory and a cousin who agrees,
and a confidence you couldn't buy with all the money in the seas.
He's never had a doubt, he's never had a pause,
he's never met a subject he can't master over drinks,
and if you disagree, well, he don't argue, he just talks
a little louder, a little longer, till you blink!
He's the loudest man in the room! (the loudest man!)
The less he knows the louder he gets! (louder he gets!)
Certainty is cheap and doubt's the only debt!
The experts stall and stammer 'cause the truth is complicated —
he has never in his life hesitated!
Give him the mic, give him the floor,
the loudest man in the room knows less than the door!
There's a woman in the corner, she's been thirty years on this,
she's read the whole damn library and buried half of it,
you ask her for the answer and she says, "We don't know yet" —
well, that don't sell a ticket, kid, that don't fill a seat!
'Cause a "maybe" never marched anybody down a street,
and "it depends" has never got a standing ovation,
so she'll sit there with her data and her decades and her doubt,
while the loudest man in the room gets a nation!
(band) He! Knows! Nothing! (clap clap)
He! Says! Everything! (clap clap)
And we! Vote! For it! (clap clap)
Every! Single! Time! (HEY!)
And the quiet ones are quiet 'cause they know how much they don't —
so we hand the crown to whoever says he won't!
He's very popular.
