Ignorance Is Bliss

"Ignorance is bliss" you said
"If you want to understand
put cotton wool into your ears
put your head into the sand
put your head into the sand"

Those shades you wear upon your eyes
Don’t protect them from the light
They’re there to stop you seeing the things
That make you worry late at night
Make you worry late at night

When you’re always wearing blinkers
There’s a problem you will find
When you’re looking straight ahead
You can’t see who’s creeping up from behind
Who’s that creeping up from behind
(With a knife in his hand)?

Don’t talk to strange people
Don’t listen to their ideas
You know you’re far far better off
With your fingers in your ears
Stick your fingers in your ears

Let your mummy tuck you in bed
You’ve had a busy day
And if you don’t think about the world
Then perhaps the world will go away
Make the world go away!
