lyrics

I wish that I was born in 1950
So I wouldn’t know that these cigarettes could kill me
Ignorance is bliss but I’m an educated man
I’m living in an hour glass as a grain of sand
And I want to forget everything so I can live my life
But the more you know the less you know why should I even try?

I’ve found everything we do
Turns out to be bad for you
It’s so hard to ignore the truth
But so easy to break the rules
So let’s make our lives shit
So we can enjoy it
Let’s make our lives shit
So we can live

I don’t want to know anything
If I know that it will hurt me
I think I’d rather know nothing
So please don’t talk to me

And if you’re gonna shove your facts into my face
I think I’d rather try to find another human race
I’d take them all to a different place
And I’d never tell them anything

I’ve found everything we do
Turns out to be bad for you
It’s so hard to ignore the truth
But so easy to break the rules
So let’s make our lives shit
So we can enjoy it
Let’s make our lives shit
So we can live

Terminals Split
by D-Cent Jerks/ A Guy Named Guy

It's a sick mix between pop-punk and ska that totally works. Possibly the beginning of 4th wave ska? Poor Jeremy

Good Violent Riot
by Short Handed Goal

Wicked catchy horn lines that make you wanna dance. "Rebel Radio" is my favorite! Poor Jeremy

Rogue Taxidermy

supported by 33 fans who also own “Ignorance is Bliss”

A folk punk classic, and a great example of how flexible the genre is: from the beautiful and heartbreaking "Blue Jays", to the poppy fun of "Day Gaunts", to the poignat honesty of "Misanthropic Drunken Loner", to the satisfying dissonace of the instruments vocals and lyrics on "Perfuctly Disfunctional". One of my Favorite albums that shines light into an underappreciated Genre losthuman113

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
