Ignorance is bliss
Thin skin caught up again

Sensors overload
Brought down, chased out of town
Another dangerous road

Simply a problem of biology
It's a choice you never make

Think it through, logic must be made for fools
Leave them now and be
A has been who never was
They'll set you up with pains that grow
