Lyrics
I Don't Need To Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't need to know
Why the ocean's blue or how the flowers grow
I don't need to live
Waiting on someone to forgive me for my sins
Like my father before me
I'm a working man, a working man
But I don't need to believe
In something that won't save my sanity
No, I don't need, I don't need to know
No, I don't need to know
I don't need to know, I don't need to know
I don't want to live
In a world where faces change from day to day
I don't want my life to be
So full of doubt and misery
The years now pass without a trace
It's something that I'm learning to embrace
How most my nights are spent awake
Thinking about how I don't want to live that way
No, I don't want, I don't want to live
No, I don't want to live
I don't want to live, I don't want to live
I don't know, but I've been told
That if you don't believe, the devil owns your soul
Well, if this is the truth, then to hell I'll go
'Cause I don't need to know
