Van Morrison - You Don't Understand Lyrics
You don't understand
How hard it can be for one man
You don't understand
I was taken in
You don't wanna know that there's evil in the land
How bad people can be
What happened to me
You don't understand
There's skulduggery about
You don't believe, you don't believe how bad it can be
'Cause you don't wanna see
What's happened to me
What they can do to you
You don't have a clue
You don't understand
Can't trust human nature
Can't trust human nature, no matter what you do
Human nature can't be trusted
Human nature can't be true
Trying to see through the celtic mist
Does freedom of speech exist?
What free state is this?
You don't understand how they work in the dark
You don't understand what it's like to be a mark
You don't understand how bad it is, I was taken in
You don't understand how mad and dangerous some people can be
You can't trust human nature
No matter what anyone tells you to do
Human nature can't be true
'Cause it's only human through and through
Trying to see through the celtic mist
Does freedom of speech exist?
What free state is this?
You don't understand how they work in the dark
You don't understand what it's like to be a mark
You don't understand how I was taken in
How mad, bad, and dengerous
How mad, bad, and dengerous some people can be
Why can't you see?
Take my name in vain
Cause me to be wrecked and strained
People that are comfortably insane
Feels like a ball and chain
Pounding on my brain
You don't understand
You don't understand my life is in shreds
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't wanna believe how bad it is
You don't understand how bad it can get
You don't understand how sad it is
You don't understand how my life is in shreds
I just wanna put it to bed, put it away
You don't understand
You just can't comprehend
Driving me roudn the bend
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
Alright
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
You just don't understand

Van Morrison You Don't Understand Comments
This album is beginning to be my favorite Van album. Thank you!
Two things - 1. "Ballad of a Thin Man", much? and 2. You'd think, 52 years down the track and countless songs on the topic, you think he'd have moved on from this. One of the weaker tracks on the album.
Van lives in the NOW and this lyric is right on target....get out the past shane
😊😉
i dont understand how a trainwreck got to run are country
Καλό!!
Van the Man, he does it again!
Another Spirit Bomb ! This whole album is a feast for my soul.
God bless Van Morrisson
How can talent be so impossibly boundless?
Yes!!!!!
👍 Thanks to the Man
I wonder if he met Robert Johnson down at the Crossroads while he was down there selling his soul :)
May God bless u richly... Like Moses n David... I love u ,stay healthy, live long...
Every word... echoes deep
Every freaking time, blown away!!!!!
... you don't understand ... humane nature can be true ... exists ... you don't understand ...
I write while they 're singing ,without know exactly the words ,that is only that i can perceive ... maybe it's correct or maybe not ... haa haa thanks !
I have just listened to this entire Album, once again Van outdoes his self...God Bless him...Respect and Love xoxo <3 from Ontario Canada
God Bless Van Morrison He Always Puts Out Great Albums Every Year And Each Album Is A Masterpiece And Wonderful Excellent Music That With Stand The Test Of Time.
The groove is a hommage to 'Ballad of a Thin Man' by Bob Dylan, dum dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum. "Something is happening here but you don't know what it is, do you Mr Jones/Morrison".
Yes lyrically aligned to Thin Man too
Thought that as soon as I heard it.. Actually wondered if it was going to be a cover of BoaTM when the intro kicked in.
Poor van referring to selling his soul to the devil i.e the music/ entertainment industry
It starts exactly like that.
@woolhall thats the point!
