Van Morrison - You Don't Understand lyrics

You don't understand
How hard it can be for one man
You don't understand how I was taken in
You don't wanna know that there's evil
In the land you don't understand
How bad people can be what happened to me
You don't understand

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 fame can do to you
You don't have a clue i'm only one man
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

Tryin' 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

Tryin' 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 dangerous how mad, bad
And dangerous some people can be
Why can't you see?

Take my name in vain

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 how bad my life is
You don't understand
You just can't comprehend around the bend
You don't understand, you don't understand
You don't understand, you don't understand

You don't understand, you don't understand
You don't understand, you don't understand
You just don't understand
