Bowie, David - Law (Earthlings On Fire) Lyrics
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
In the street a man shouts out loud
A wallet drops and money flies into the midday sun
with the sound of the ground
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
[CHORUS]
With the sound, with the sound,
with the sound of the ground
Sure I get a little bit afraid
Earthlings on fire
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
In a house a man drops dead
As he hits the floor he sighs
"What a morning"
[CHORUS]
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
I don't want knowledge

Bowie, David Law (Earthlings On Fire) Comments
And this is like a parody of Front Line Assembly
Heard this in King of the Hill and I was surprised Mike Judge used a song that isn't Afraid of Americans!
I remember listening to this in college when I was stoned and thinking I was a real alien
What a track! The man was always ahead of everyone from his time, truly underrated
Can't get over how cool this piece is my fave!
I wish this was played live..
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
In the street a man shouts out loud
A wallet drops and money flies into the midday sun
With the sound, with the sound,
with the sound of the ground
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
[CHORUS]
With the sound, with the sound,
with the sound of the ground
Sure I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
In a house a man drops dead
As he hits the floor he sighs
"What a morning"
[CHORUS]
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
I don't want knowledge,
I want certainty
I don't want knowledge
"I don't want knowledge. I want sovereignty." Is how I heard the line and honestly, that would be a better line and would fit perfectly.
My only criticism of this is that I wish he'd put more standard vocals in the verses, to give it more credibility among a wider audience as a 'proper' song rather than an almost semi-instrumental.
Stuart Maxwell I understand that, but I appreciate it for its craziness. I love this whole album.
czarpaul01 It's my third favourite Bowie album after Outside and Station To Station.
As he hits the floor he sighs
*what a morning*
We will be on fire. thanx in no small part to Reeves Gabrels
BANG YOUR HEAD
very metal riffs a hold over from the Tin Machine daze
King of the hill brought me here . Husky Bobby
This song makes me feel i alive again.I love it.
Lady Gaga on acid
Criminally Underrated Album
yes yes yes
'I don't want knowledge, I want certainty'... relevant.
ThinWhiteAxe Yep, liberals are afraid of knowledge and scientific facts that challenge their hippy fantasies of men and women, and ethnic groups all being equal.
@Stuart Maxwell hilarious
@Stuart Maxwell Shut the fuck up Boomer
Bowie was a genius, album is so cool..
Tremendous song! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
love this!!!...
