[Verse 1]
If you could see what I can see
There'd be no need for this misery
So take our food and kick us to our own knees
Instead, we'll stay inside and watch some prime-time TV

[Chorus]
This ignorance is bliss
I hope I'll never have to drink my own piss
And as these shadows grow long
Guess I'll just wait until my patience is gone

[Verse 2]
My blind eye is slowly closing in
But I can still see the TV screen
Twenty-thousand locusts strike the garbage bin
Fuck my neighbour, time's wearing thin

[Chorus]
This ignorance is bliss
I hope I'll never have to drink my own piss
And as these shadows grow long
Guess I'll just wait until my patience is gone
