Tunes of The Future - It's Who You Know Lyrics

They say knowledge is power, it'll take you far,
But I've seen doors closed no matter who you are,
You can have the skills, you can have the drive,
But without the right names, it's hard to survive.
It's not what you know, it's who you know,
The right connections make the world go,
You can have the brains, you can have the heart,
But without the right ties, you might not get a start.
You can study hard, get the highest grades,
But someone else is playing a different game,
They've got the links, they've got the friends,
And that's how they win in the end.
It's not what you know, it's who you know,
The right connections make the world go,
You can have the brains, you can have the heart,
But without the right ties, you might not get a start.
It's a tough pill to swallow, but it's the truth,
Sometimes it's not about the proof,
You can work and grind, give it your best,
But without the network, you might miss the rest.
It's not what you know, it's who you know,
The right connections make the world go,
You can have the brains, you can have the heart,
But without the right ties, you might not get a start.
So play the game, but don't lose sight,
Keep your values, keep your fight,
But remember in this world, that's how it goes,
It's not always what you know, but who you know.
