Lyrics
Is this what we want?
This can't possibly continue to go on
Peel by peel you take away the layers of the onion
To get it's own fundamental kernel of truth
I don't think that's the way it works
Ignorance
That's what was missing
Ignorance has a lot of bad connotations
And I clearly don't mean any of those
I don't mean stupidity
I don't mean a callow indifference to fact
Or reason, or data
The ignorant are clearly unenlightened
Unaware, uninformed
I mean a different kind of ignorance
Thoroughly conscious ignorance
Cause he believes that he knows
Next week, he looks back to see that it wasn't so
Proving himself wrong, while time is ticking too slow
But also way too fast for him to keep up the hope
You feel good but you have bad habits
He's got good habits, cause he don't feel fantastic
Maybe it's cause he doesn't understand the past
Or just because he doesn't really stand understanding it
Standing in the drizzling rain
He tries to get better
So instead of only living vein
He's living this day for tomorrow
Cause he knows inside himself that life is well
Unless you give it away
Even though temptations come in hard
When it's later in the day
The sensations of it all
Hits you straight up in the face
His patience wearing off
He tries his best to make it through it all
You were blind now you see
You were lost now you're free
So tell'em
Tell'em, tell'em
And show them what you can be
He believes that he knows things
Even after all these realizations, he's hoping
That he isn't fully blind
But every time he tries to provoke it
He's proven wrong and doesn't even see just why it's hopeless
What point is there in knowledge?
When you keep realizing you knew nothing last year, in the darkness
What point is there in using your eyes?
When you keep realizing
Just a week ago you were completely fucking blind
Knowing a lot of stuff is not the point
Knowing a lot of stuff is there to help you get
To more ignorance
So knowledge is a big subject
But I would say ignorance
Is a bigger one
Is this what we want?
This can't possibly continue to go on
