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

Yeah 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 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

[ guitar ]

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
