A song from the CD "There For The Taking".  Available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/johntabacco5    Words and Music © 2014 by John Tabacco   Published by It Iz What It Iz Music (SESAC)     The chorus melody of this tune stems back to the early 90's and was eventually incorporated into a Gearhead Freaks song called "Ya Gotta Re-Type It". You can hear this melody played on the trumpet at the end of that tune. I always liked the idea but Gian DiMauro and I never bothered to develop it. Two decades later the musical seeds have grown into a full fledged song. But I kind of saw that happening in the future so...    NOBODY, NOBODY KNOWS     Rivers - taxi cabs for flowing life forms and emulsions   Rivers - taxi cabs for flowing garbage to the oceans   The seagull and all it’s mates   They come to gather by the dumpster crates   If a pizza box shows up, great   They’ll have more plastic cheese to munch on   But is this something they should count on?     Well, Nobody, nobody knows   What the future has in store tomorrow   Nobody, nobody knows   Would you care to speculate?   Nobody, nobody knows   But fate     Sunshine – reveals the floating "pesticidal pollen"   I’ve been coughin’   Sunshine -  reveals the radiated skin cells on a dolphin   While a satellite watches you   We’re nothing more than human cellular phones   The mystery of what we do no longer hidden like a dog bone   Could be your name is on the next drone     Well, Nobody, nobody knows   What the future has in store tomorrow   Nobody, nobody knows would you care to flip a dime?   Nobody, nobody knows what the future has in store tomorrow   Nobody, nobody knows   Not I     Suspended belief - like the childhood stories of yesterday   No kind of relief sittin shiva when love ones pass away   The man behind the curtain was gone   The day his guessing games were sold to gypsy queens   The gypsy queens….     Look into my crystal balls.   YOU FOOLS!     Wave goodbye to the honey bee   Welcome the Fukushima folly parade   A world of absurdities to feed creations endless wedding   I wonder where the whole thing’s heading…   Well, Nobody, nobody knows   What the future has in store tomorrow   Nobody, nobody knows would you care to speculate?   Nobody, nobody knows what the future has in store tomorrow   Nobody, nobody knows   But fate     FATE!     Nobody, nobody knows   Nobody, nobody knows   Nobody, nobody knows   Nobody, nobody knows   Nobody, nobody knows   Nobody, nobody knows   Nobody, nobody knows    JT : Vocals, Acousitc guitar, Programming   Patricia Amendolia : Harmonies   Barry Hartglass : Bass   Vinnie Zummo : All electric guitars     Recorded + Mixed by JT at Suburban Hermit Studios II, Stony Brook, NY   Miniatures : "The Time Machine" and "The Seance" by Catherine Tabacco
