How Do They Know Lyrics

When you stop and ask, "which way do we go,"
And they all say, "follow me,"
How do they know?
So you follow on and stumble and fall,
And a voice says, "ah, who's he?"
How do they know? How do they know?
Now you're beginning to realize,
The first will not be the last,
Ask them please not to go so fast,
'Cause the dust is sucking your eyes,
Dust is sucking your eyes.
Tear yourself away and sit for a while,
And the band goes marching on.
How do they know? How do they know?

Now you're beginning to realize ...

When you stop and ask ...

I know a man and his name is George.
George is his name, and a man I know.
Know I George, his name and a man?
Man, his name is George and I know him.
