Lyrics

Don't Wanna Know 'bout Evil

(Knowledge is power)

Sometimes it gets so hard to listen

Hard for me to use my eyes

And all around the gold is glistening

Making sure it keeps me down to size

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know a thing about evil

Only wanna know about love

(Knowledge is power)

I'm waitin' for the planes to tumble

Waitin' for the towns to fall

I'm waitin' for the cities to crumble

Waitin' till I see you crawl

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know a thing about evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

And yes it's getting hard to listen

Hard for me to use my eyes

And all around the gold is glistening

Making sure it keeps us hyp-n-o-tized

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know a thing about evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know a thing about evil

Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love...
