Leadbelly?s in the background being drowned out by the grind 
                  C5                            E5 
He?s singing ?bout ?Rock Island Line? nobody seems to pay him any mind  
E5                                    D5 
Bestsellers and bookshelves full of self-help printed word 
           C5                            E5 
Some faint elegance is heard, now was that Ellington or Bird?  
 
C5                        D5                 B5 E5 
And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss? 
            D5        B5           E5 
I?m waiting for   -   the other shoe to drop

         E5                                    D5 
There?s a man standing at the crossroads with a dark roast in his hand 
              C5                         E5 
He?s livin? in white yuppy land  over by the milk and sugar stand 
C5                        D5                 B5 E5 
And have I really come for this, cup of caffenated bliss?  
 
              C5         A5            E5 
So we browse around all over town sipping coffees that we can?t pronounce 
     C5                            B5 
And meanwhile in the Blues Cemetery all the coffins commence to bounce

E5                                 D5 
Leadbelly?s in the cold ground rolling over in his grave 
                    C5                         E5 
The hard road where so many slaved is now so smooth and paved 
C5                        D5                 B5 E5 
And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss?
