Ignorance Is Bliss
I have not read your holy book , so don't know how you can hate
I have not heard your preachers preach or entered into a debate
I have not let my heart love deteriorate
My ignorance is my bliss
I have not read your manifesto, I believe in live and let live
I have not heard you speak in parliament, so don't know what lies that I will have to forgive
I have not let my mind be corrupted so your lies will not thrive in me
My ignorance is my bliss
I have not joined your business, my labour is worth more than such low pay
I have not heard your ceo speak, and don't care what your share holders have to say
I have not let my body be used to make profit today or any other day
My ignorance is my bliss
I have not asked for your friendship, so you can use me when and how you feel fit
I have not heard you speak of our friendship, except when I am needed you hypocrite
I have not let my eyes deceive me into believing you're a friend who will commit
My ignorance is my bliss
So to all the priests and mullah your lies will not draw me in
and the same to Politician's I am not going to vote you in
Big business you can whistle so don't count me in
False friends can find others people as I'm not filling in
My ignorance is my bliss.
