Since Gave Up Hope I Feel a Lot Better
Truth ain't what it used to be.
"Life unwinds like a cheap sweater
But since I gave up hope I feel a lot better
And the truth gets blurred like a wet letter
But since I gave up hope I feel a lot better
"While the world winds down to a final prayer
Nothing soothes quicker than complete despair
I predict by dinner I won't even care
Since I gave up hope I feel a lot better"
This song, by Steve Taylor, from 1987 tells of a wide-eyed kid who goes off to college and finds the "truth" that "truth" doesn't matter in an ethics class. At the very least, it's irrelevant.
A tempting conclusion. Just stop thinking about it. Ignorance is bliss. Truth ain't what it used to be.
