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