I Don't Want To Know

John Martyn

I don't want to know about evil

I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love

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

And I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know one thing about evil
Only want to know about love

I'm waiting for the planes to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I'm waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till the sea a grow

Yes it's getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
'Cause all around that gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized

And I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love

I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know anything about evil
Only want to know about love

And I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love

I don't want to know about evil
Sometimes
Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Only want to know about love
Only want to know about love
