Paramore – Ignorance Lyrics

Rock

If I'm a bad person you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel, your jury?
What's my offense this time
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (no)
We're not the same
(No)
Oh, we're not the same

Yeah, that the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept
That the change is good (hey)
It's good (hey)
It's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (no)
We're not the same
(No)
Oh, we're not the same

Yeah, that the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept
That the change is good (hey)
It's good (hey)
It's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

    I listened to the song on their website and I thought it was a lot more harsh in the lyrics and different for Paramore. I also think it will be a lot harder to memorize. It is still a great song, though!

    I think this song is about how the band broke up. (If you havn't heard about this yet, the Farro bros left) because they talk about how it's haleys fault and thats what made them break up in real life too!

    I love this song!! this song is just saying that people give up on the beautiful things and go for terrible things. They give up on happiness that could last for a life time just for happiness that will last for about 15 minutes! People are ignorant and stupid! ADD ME ON FACEBOOK! ~Jefferson IvreeBlaze Johnson~ (im weird so i changed my name to Jefferson! Lon story add me and i tell you the story) :)
