A shot so quick as ending
My life was not for me to save
Mine was not an ill for mending

So I simply took it to the grave

Ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is bliss
For what good can ever come of this
I am dead, I am dismissed


Ignorance is bliss
I am dismissed


Turn safe to rest, no dreams no waking
Life was not a gift that’s worth the taking


I saw the road and where it led
So I put a shotgun to my head


The sooner the better, so than later
After long disgrace and scorn

The longer wait, the heartache greater
This mind and soul should never have been born


Ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is bliss
For what good can ever come of this

I am dead, I am dismissed

Ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is bliss
For what good can ever come of this
I am dead, I am dismissed


For living was simply no reason
I saw the road and where it led

Early wise and brave in season
I put my shotgun to my head


Ignorance is bliss
