I am blind and I cannot see.
|
You out there, your petty evil don't bother me.
|
Playing on the clothes you wear,
|
Laugh at me, pressed and clean and I don't care.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
|
You petty fools, you petty fools,
|
You better have some sympathy, yeah,
|
'Cause it's the educated people running the lives of high society
|
Making up the rules, holding back the schools.
|
Lot of greed, lot of temptation.
|
Proof of one thing, we're a hell of a nation.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on, right on.
|
Right on, right on, right on, right on.
|
Right on. Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
|
I am blind and I cannot seem to understand.
|
What do we need for justice.
|
Is there really enough room to demand.
|
Old man, you know that you must regain all your children's trust.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on, right on.
|
Right on. Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on.
|
|
Well, the message with the tears
|
Through the eyes is everyone will see.
|
I can hear the people's fears.
|
The world has got a heavy load on me.
|
Oh. Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on, right on, right on.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
|
I am blind and I cannot see.
|
You out there, your petty evil don't bother me.
|
Playing on the clothes you wear,
|
Laugh at me, pressed and clean and I don't care.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Right on for the darkness.
|
Oh. Oh. Yeah.
|
|
Okay, let's break right here.
