They're Blind

The demands made upon you are hard to live up to It's futile to try and deny And the things you hold dearly Are scoffed at and yearly Judged once and then tossed aside' Cause they're blind They hold you too close to the light And I see what they only might If they'd learn but they're letting you burn Cause they're blind To the brown-eyed beholder See the chip on your shoulder The fools don't want to believe that you're so hard to talk to And so easy to read through And nobody looks past your sleeve Cause they're blind They hold you too close to the light And I see what they only might if they learn but they're letting you burn Cause they're blind They only like what they can see And what they don't, they just don't agree If you'll run to me, run, run Only like a day with him Just one day with him Then you'll run back Then you'll run back blind SOLO An old man said to me Go and take it easy now You'll run to me, run, run Only like a day with him Just one day with him Then you'll run back Then you'll run back blind They hold you too close to the light And I see what they only might if they learn but they're letting you burn Cause they're blind letting you burn Cause they're blind
