Ignorance is Bliss

Economics make sense of the world
Politics make vision of the thought
Philosophies make ideas of behaviour
And I make sense of all of them.

Economics tell me how sensible we are
Politics tell me how much we value things
Philosophy tell me how people think
And I tell myself how to be wise

Economics teaches me how to argue
Politics teaches me how to get my way
Philosophy teaches me how to convince
And I learn just how to win

Economics teaches me that this world is cruel
Politics teaches me that men are liars
Philosophy teaches me that we are just the above two
And I just wish I hadn’t learnt any.
