BLISSFULLY IGNORANT

The search for truth has devoured my youth.
And though knowledge brings us power, power corrupts
And innocence has become past tense
One mind opens and another irrupts

Just let me be

Blissfully ignorant, happily blinded
Presently Joyful, absent minded
Let all my days be, beautifully crazy
Take my unending ambition from me

Now in this race I can’t keep the pace,
There’s no finish line and there is no prize
But we’re all in and we’re out to win
Goodbye heaven, goodbye paradise

Just let me be

Blissfully ignorant, happily blinded
Presently Joyful, absent minded
Let all my days be, beautifully crazy
Take my unending ambition from me

Let money rule, and let greedy men drool
They’ll get no trouble from me
When they profit from war, when they steal from the poor
I will see what they want me to see

For I will be

Blissfully ignorant, happily blinded
Presently Joyful, absent minded
Let all my days be, beautifully crazy
Take my unending ambition from me
