Ignorance Is Bliss
Redemption 5:43Song Description:
The old adage, ” Those who don’t learn from history will be doomed to repeat it”,
seems as applicable as ever in contemporary society.

Lyrics:
Could it be that we should know,
learning lessons from the past,
useful knowledge for us all
that could save us from ourselves.
History repeats itself.
Empty promises abound.
Begging for our memories
to remind of thoughts unsound.
Blissfully how unaware our progeny can be.
Who has been responsible, certainly not me.
Socialism rears its head,
touting services for free.
Puts us deeper in the red,
further than democracy.
One example, foolish hope,
communists said they would share.
Doomed to ride that slippery slope,
Russians found their cupboards bare.
Blissfully how unaware our progeny can be.
Who has been responsible, certainly not me.
Communism had its day.
Socialism’s failed before.
Both of these could be revived,
if their history we ignore.
Propaganda can control
when people aren’t discerning,
and biases are of’t dispensed
from schools of higher learning.
Blissfully how unaware our progeny can be.
Who has been responsible, certainly not me.
Media now holds the key,
more than ever’s been before,
money drives their storylines
pushing us toward civil war.
Skepticism has its place,
but can’t be used at random.
If a person wants the truth,
it must be paired with wisdom.
If this message could get through
mistakes would be avoided
Otherwise there’ll be repeats.
Expect to be exploited.
Blissfully how unaware our populations are.
Who has been responsible? How’d we get this far?
Yes, who has been responsible, how did we get this far?
