lyrics

IF IGNORANCE IS BLISS

Oh, if ignorance is bliss then why do we seek knowledge?
Oh, where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise!
If ignorance is bliss, then why aren't people happy?
Oh, if ignorance is bliss, we should feel happy all the time, so ...

Why are you so sad?

Oh, if chivalry is dead, then why am I upstanding?
They say that chivalry is dead, I'm still impelled to hold a door!
But if chivalry's alive then why are we so lonely?
Good manners maketh the man yet I feel such a bore, oh ...

Why are you so sad?

You win, you lose, you try again
You live, you love, you try again
You make your bed and lie in it ...
