Chorus
Ignorance is bliss – when you’re getting pissed
Ignorance is bliss – when you’re getting pissed
But ignorance is pain – the next day
But ignorance is pain – the next day
I may not have been an alcoholic
But to be tea-total was a tonic
After a few heavy nights out on the town.
Vesre 1
But then I look back on the good times we had
When living crazy on the town with the lads
All past memories are good I find
While bad times fall to the back of the mind.
Verse 2
Then a friend called me up one night
And asked me out for a drink, I said “All right!”
He said, ’time to reminisce with the old friends
With memories so many the night’ll never end’
And I said, “Yeh, sounds pretty good to me”
Verse 3
At his local pub we all got together
The laughing and joking seemed to last forever
The conversation grew crazier line after line
Before we knew it they were calling time
Then a friend said, “Let’s continue drinking at your place or mine”.
Verse 4
The rest is history for which I can’t recal
l I woke the next day sprawled out on the floor
My head was so heavy, I felt so sick
My stomach was a volcano waiting to spit.
Chorus
Ignorance is bliss – when you’re getting pissed
Ignorance is bliss – when you’re getting pissed
But ignorance is pain – the next day
But ignorance is pain – the next day
I may not have been an alcoholic
But to be tea-total was a tonic
After a few heavy nights out on the town.
Outro
We drink for the moment while it lasts
Memories remain while the bad times pass
We live for the moment, we live for today
Ignorance is bliss, tomorrow’s still a day away
Ignorance is pain!!
