Bellows Innocent In Ignorance
A Georgia plate with Jesus fish
Innocent in ignorance
You say it like it's some kind of joke
For a moment I'm emotional
Or maybe I'm not so complex
If you're open, I'll be open back
And if you're kind to me, I bet
I'll be kinder, send the effort back
For some time now I've hated him
To anger, I have given in
So sure the world exists for him
Contains only what he sees in it
That life has no appeal for me
That refusal of intensity
But I keep it all inside my chest
And he's innocent in ignorance
On the interstate, we see a deer
Its body barely staying together
Its blood spread thirty feet ahead
It stains the highway overpass
I avert my eyes to see such horror
It's like a thing I'm not supposed to know
That was the same tour we saw this line of ducklings
Getting trampled trying to cross the street
Their blood collects in little pools
Around their feathers, like some f..cked up eggs
They shot the gorilla in that Ohio zoo
Because a little boy had got into his cage
And to this day, I still don't get it
Who was innocent in ignorance?
And to this day I still can't see
Why the judgment is escaping me
Who was innocent in ignorance?
Innocent in ignorance
Innocent in ignorance
Innocent in ignorance
