[Verse 1]
Stuck in the shade
Where there's no sunshine
I don't wanna play
With them other kids in the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Since you left me, babe
It's been a long way down
Yeah, you left me, babe
It's been a long way down

[Chorus]
What you don’t know won't hurt you, yeah
Ignorance is bliss
I'm a happy idiot
Waving at cars
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall
'Til I feel like nothing at all
I'm a happy idiot
To keep my mind off you

[Verse 2]
Stuck in a daze
And I've lost my mind
I don't wanna stay
Where the blame's all mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Since you left me, babe
It's been a long way down
Yeah, you left me, babe
It's been a long way down

[Bridge]
So, I shut it off
So, I shut it all off
So, I shut it off
So, I shut it all off
Whoa, oh, it's been a long way down
Oh, oh, oh, it's been a long way down

[Chorus]
What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah
Ignorance is bliss
I'm a happy idiot
Waving at cars
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall
'Til I feel like nothing at all
I'm a happy idiot
To keep my mind off you

[Post-Chorus]
To keep my mind off you
To keep my mind off you
[Instrumental Outro]
