Questions and answers. What are the lyrics to the Friendly Indians song “I Know You Know” (Psych theme song)?  The question has been floating about the forums and thanks to our friend from the band we have the answer.

Reading the official lyrics surprised me, especially one line in particular, “same down song”. I’ve been wrong for so long now.

I Know You Know – the Psych Theme Song

music and lyrics written by Steve Franks
as performed by Friendly Indians

Verse 1
In between the lines there’s a lot of obscurity
I’m not inclined to resign to maturity
If it’s alright, then you’re all wrong
But why bounce around to the same down song

Pre-Chorus
You’d rather run when you can’t crawl

Chorus
I know you know that I’m not telling the truth
I know you know they just don’t have any proof
Embrace the deception, learn how to bend
Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end

Verse 2
In the realm of compliments there isn’t any higher
than a fabricated misdirection fashioned by a liar
You think you hate all that you love
Acting so surprised when it fits you like a glove

Verse 3
You want to find the answers and I offer a solution
The happy one has got a dose of healthy disillusion
If it’s a game they want to play
Better load the dice ’cause they’ll do it anyway

Pre-Chorus
You wanna run when you can’t crawl

Chorus
I know you know that I’m not telling the truth
I know you know they just don’t have any proof
Embrace the deception, learn how to bend
Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end

Outro
I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I know you know

We hope you enjoy the show and the band as much as we do. Curt Smith of Tears for Fears, is a fan. He recently had the Indians on his web show Stripped Down Live. If you haven’t seen this yet, take a look.

Big thanks to our friend(ly Indian) Jason Barrett, drummer for the Friendly Indians.
