I Wanna Be Ignored - Ezra Furman, The Harpoons

I wanna be ignored

And I’m well on my way

All of your admiration

Ain’t gonna matter come judgement day

I wanna be ignored

I can’t take your gaze

And I don’t want to be rewarded

If I ever find my outta this maze

Ooh…

I wana be ignored

Don’t wanna see any part

I don’t want anybody to notice

The blood spilling out of my exploding heart

I wanna be ignored

Stay behind the scenes

I want you to enjoy the music

And not think about what the lyrics mean

Ooh…

Well, runnin' through a hall of mirrors

A giant clock is chasing me

Singin' in the face of the government

Sittin' under a lemon tree

Drinkin' in a skyline sunset

Prayin' to a far off lord

People get what they deserve

And I deserve to be ignored

I wanna be ignored

I don’t want people to see

I just wanna make everybody happy

And nobody else to look at me

I wanna be ignored

I don’t want people to know

That I’m the reason that there’s footprints

In their perfect backyards of snow

I wanna be ignored

I can’t take your gaze

And I don’t want to be rewarded

If I ever find my outta this maze

I wanna be ignored

And I’m well on my way

All of your admiration

Ain’t gonna matter come judgement day

I wanna be ignored

I don’t want people to see

I just wanna make everybody happy

And nobody else to look at me

I wanna be ignored

I don’t want people to know

That I’m the reason that there’s footprints

In their perfect backyards of snow

Ooh…
