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
