Oh ignorance it does not make you immune
You can still tell a lie when you don’t know the truth
You’ll deal in deception, you’ll tinker with trust
Completely convinced that you’re honest enough

Oh innocence won’t always make you less cruel
It is a refuge for bullies and fools
They’re only a product of what they endured
I’ll trade you forgiveness for a heart that is pure

Would you jump for me jump for me
Leave anyone for me?
Dance for me dance for me
Give up a chance for me?
Hey hey honey, don’t be a fool just walk

Oh love is a pawnbroker making a steal
You’ll trade in your assets for something to feel
And when you have spent all of your passion and pride
You’ll come back for more and he’ll help you decide

Oh vigilance won’t always keep you prepared
When your eyes are wide open you’ll still trip on the stairs
You’ll say I won’t be taken in or caught unawares
But he’ll make a mockery of all you declared

Darling won’t you open your eyes
Oh darling won’t you open your eyes
