Experts from Truth by Michael McAuley

"No everyone knows everything and that’s ok."

“Experts reminds us: wisdom isn’t loud—it’s quiet, reflective, and willing to listen.”

“Experts” is a thoughtful reflection on the balance between what we know, what we admit we don’t, and when we choose to listen. With conversational lyrics and a calm, grounded delivery, the song captures the honesty of navigating uncertainty and the humility of trusting those who have studied, learned, and earned respect. It challenges the noise of false voices and distractions while reminding us that wisdom often lies in being quiet, receptive, and open. Both reflective and empowering, “Experts” invites listeners to embrace not knowing as a natural part of life. This track is for anyone who’s wrestled with doubt, searched for clarity, or found peace in listening to others’ insights. It’s an honest, relatable anthem for staying grounded in truth and humility.

Lyrics

When I don’t know
When I just can’t decide
I ask myself who
I ask myself why

I ask myself how could they possibly know
I follow the money to see where it goes
I look at the players playing the game
I think what they want and what they gain

So many performers acting their want
So many scams to get what I’ve got
So many voices claiming they know
So many clowns who put on a show

Sometimes I know what I’m talking about
Mostly I don’t have a clue
Sometimes I work it out for myself
Mostly I listen to you

I know what I know
I know who I am
I know my own past
I know my own plan

You’ve studied the field
You set the scene
You’ve studied results
You know what they mean

Sometimes I know what I’m talking about
Mostly I don’t have a clue
Sometimes I work it out for myself
Mostly I listen to you

Neutral, passive, quiet, at peace
When I don’t know
I don’t have to speak
Neutral, passive, quiet, at peace
When I don’t know
I don’t have to speak

Experts are measured
By the study they’ve done
The respect they’ve collected
The name they’ve become
Experts are measured
By the fruit that they bare
In truth that’s supported
When others Compare

Experts say why
Experts have reasons
Experts know how
Experts see meaning
Experts have logic
Experts have proof
Experts speak facts
Experts speak truth

Sometimes I know what I’m talking about
Mostly I don’t have a clue
Sometimes I work it out for myself
Mostly I listen to you

When I don’t know
When I just can’t decide
I ask myself who
I ask myself why

I ask myself how could they possibly know.
I follow the money to see where it goes.
I look at the players playing the game.
I think what they want and what they will gain

So many performers acting their want.
So many scams to get what I’ve got.
So many voices claiming they know.
So many clowns who put on a show.

Sometimes I know what I’m talking about
Mostly I don’t have a clue
Sometimes I work it out for myself
Mostly I listen to you

Experts are measured
By the study they’ve done
The respect they’ve collected
The name they’ve become
Experts are measured
By the fruit that they bare
In truth that’s supported
When others Compare

Experts say why
Experts have reasons
Experts know how
Experts see meaning
Experts have logic
Experts have proof
Experts speak facts
Experts speak truth

Sometimes I know what I’m talking about
Mostly I don’t have a clue
Sometimes I work it out for myself
Mostly I listen to you
