Lyrics
I Don't Wanna 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 want to know 'bout evil, I only want to know about love
I don't want to know 'bout evil, I only want to know about love
Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size
I'm waiting for the plains to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I'm waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till I hear the call
Yes, it's getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
'Cause all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotised
