Shrug - Bliss lyrics

Pregnant woman hurried by me yesterday In the parking lot of a grocery store Her thoughts a thousand miles away Late for some heavy-handed destiny Her baby force-fed toxic breakfast from her cigarette Her boyfriend waits there in thier bruised and battered car Open can of Schlitz between his legs and he's looking through the Evening Star They play the lottery religiously, impatiently They wait for Jesus on their TV set again So the story goes I said, "Ignorance is bliss" Never pretty, heaven knows But has it really come to this? So the story goes I said, "Ignorance is bliss" I'd like to take you there myself But I'm afraid of what I'd miss If ignorance is bliss I got a day job in some godforsaken place Where the smell of dust and the sound of hiss And a so-called liter in my face Turn the treadmill on for another faceless day Put on my s**er mask I spend my leisure time like any sane man does I sit and stew and think of you and wonder where the wrong turn was I may not ever know the one damn thing for sure I gotta, I gotta, I must get out of here for good, good, oh yeah Oh, I want some, too But I don't know what to do Or how to go about believing it I'll stack her, and I'll miss Ignorance is bliss Ooh, ignorance is bliss I'm afraid of what I'd miss Ignorance is Just spend a day inside my shoes and you'll see what I mean Don't wanna die or rule the world, just something somewhere in between I wanna do something that only I can do And leave behind a silver trail So the story goes I said, "Ignorance is bliss" It's never pretty, heaven knows But has it really come to this? So the story goes I said, "Ignorance is bliss" I'd like to take you there myself But I'm afraid of what I'd miss Oh, ignorance is bliss, bliss
