DESCRIPTION:
In the wake of recent outbursts by members of the music community on the issue of homosexuality, THE SHEDS have decided to move ahead their plans and release "Ignorance Is Bliss", the first single from their upcoming album 'I'll Be Fine'.

Frontman Mac Miller gave the band's reasoning behind this decision, "In light of recent displays of intolerance, we are releasing the first song off this new record earlier than anticipated." Adding, ""Ignorance Is Bliss" is our stance as supporters of equal rights. We believe there is no excuse (religious or other) to alienate any person or group."

"Ignorance Is Bliss" will appear on the band's new album 'I'll Be Fine', which is set to hit stores this spring through Mediaskare Records. Produced by Kyle Black (Set Your Goals, Pierce The Veil), the album also features a guest appearance by HUNDREDTH frontman Chadwick Johnson on the track "Bad Things Are Bad".


LYRICS:
I believe if we're put here to believe,
to fight war in his name
Then he's wasting his breath and you're wasting your time
while they're out there wasting away

If there's a hell we're all headed there
So what you're telling me is
If the "gays will burn" so will the bigots trying to preserve
at least that's what I believe

If ignorance is bliss, I'd rather stay miserable

I believe the kids can handle same-sex love
why try to keep them from the truth
Faithless within your faith in the human race
Fated to fall is better than falling for nothing at all

If there's a hell we're all headed there
So what you're telling me is
You say "God hates fags"

You think he loves you more
You hold your book up high, swing verses just like swords

If ignorance is bliss, I'd rather stay miserable

If your creator of choice loves all men equally
How come a man can't love another man? It's american tragedy
The hate is hard to swallow, it's harder to fight than follow
How can you teach your youth to champion a heart so hollow

If ignorance is bliss, i'd rather stay miserable

You're all miserable.
