 Em                                         D 
Leadbelly?s in the background being drowned out by the grind 
                  C                            Em 
He?s singing ?bout ?Rock Island Line? nobody seems to pay him any mind  
Em                                    D 
Bestsellers and bookshelves full of self-help printed word 
           C                            Em 
Some faint elegance is heard, now was that Ellington or Bird?  
 
C                        D                 Bm Em 
And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss?

         Em                                    D 
There?s a man standing at the crossroads with a dark roast in his hand 
              C                         Em 
He?s livin? in white yuppy land  over by the milk and sugar stand 
C                        D                 Bm Em

So we browse around all over town sipping coffees that we can?t pronounce

Leadbelly?s in the cold ground rolling over in his grave 
                    C                         Em 
The hard road where so many slaved is now so smooth and paved 
C                        D                 Bm Em 
And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss? 
            D        Bm           Em 
I?m waiting for   -   the other shoe to drop
