In A World withoutIgnorance

In a world without ignorance, I'd be ignored

of all the immature shit I've had to deal with before

But I thing all the time, “What if it were gone?”

Would Jenny and Ricki and Jerry be the bomb?

Would weed smoking cease?

Would wars turn to peace?

Would the government go broke when their supply was, then, ceased?

In a world without ignorance, I'd walk he streets through

Not caring about some dumbass and the rest of their crew

Who have no job and no life and the intelligence of a brick?

Who go all day puffin' blunts and grabbing their dicks

I think the world would be bored if no ignorance soared

Over this sad little nation as it did once before

In a world with not ignorance…damn, what a thought!

Ignorance stems from not knowing

or knowing right from wrong but not showing

that you're packing some knowledge but not trying to show

a thing

A piece

A particle of sense

And, henceforth, you're no better than a no-respect-having,

nonsense-babbling,

round-the-way bein',

without the soul of a human being,

piece of shit anomaly

with the mentality of a nobody

[sigh]

In a world without ignorance, you wouldn't bother me

Oh, what a pipe dream!

But, as the world slowly turns

I see you're lost this turn and you'll have eternity to burn

And think, “Damn…was I that wrong?”

I guess you knew all along

That in a world with no ignorance, you'd never belong
