Ignorance Lyrics

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
