Ignorance
Said the butcher to the knife
"Must I take another life?"
Said the bullet to the passing sky
"Must I make another father cry?"
And the young girl you hear laughing
Will one day wear black
And I can't bear the sadness
I want my ignorance back
And the new life that she carries
Will one day be hurt
And the lips you are kissing
Will one day be dirt
And each time we fail
We're closer to our last chance
And I can't bear the sadness
Give me back my ignorance
We are what we know
And every dream you cling to now
Will one day be old
And everything that's pure or good
Can somehow be sold
And like the last couple
In a marathon dance
I can't bear the sadness
Give me back my ignorance
Give me back my ignorance
We are what we know
"Must I take another life?"
Said the bullet to the passing sky
"Must I make another father cry?"
And the young girl you hear laughing
Will one day wear black
And I can't bear the sadness
I want my ignorance back
And the new life that she carries
Will one day be hurt
And the lips you are kissing
Will one day be dirt
And each time we fail
We're closer to our last chance
And I can't bear the sadness
Give me back my ignorance
We are what we know
And every dream you cling to now
Will one day be old
And everything that's pure or good
Can somehow be sold
And like the last couple
In a marathon dance
I can't bear the sadness
Give me back my ignorance
Give me back my ignorance
We are what we know
