Lyrics Ezra Furman – I Wanna Be Ignored

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…
