VERSE 1
In our time of fear and doubt comes riotous mass dismay.
Disguised as psalms and firebombs, is this the only way?
Less to lose, the six-hour news, disharmony it sings.
Beyond a doubt, when lights go out, bring on eternal spring.

CHORUS
Ignorance is golden
When knowledge can’t be bought.
We pride on insecurity.
For some that’s all we’ve got.
And I don’t ask for much,
But still they’re ignoring my plea.
Everyone wants something
Can the same be said for me?

VERSE 2
As sixteen candles burn and die, wave on oh passing flame.
In two or more he’s out the door and who sits with the blame?
No clever feet, a fighting street, this stunning urban sprawl.
He falls to doubt while reaching out for names he can’t recall.
