lyrics

RONALD REAGAN: "Our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world."

You never saw it coming did you?
You never saw it 'till it hit you
The warning signs all flew right past you
You couldn't name them if I asked you

We are all born blind
That's no reason not to try
Let your soul a mirror shine
It will open up your eyes
And we all have a goal
Some place we got to go
We are nothing more than blind children
Crossing the road

There will be those who come to fool you
Who'll say bow down so they can rule you
Promise a brighter future. UNTRUE
They're just as much in darkness as you

We are all born blind
That's no reason not to try
Let your soul a mirror shine
It will open up your eyes
And we all have a goal
Some place we got to go
We are nothing more than blind children
Crossing the road

Condition Misaligned
Miscommunication has the blind leading the blind
Station eating station 'till there's nothing left to see
Mass indoctrination makes us doubt our sanity
Rewrite our history seeing us as them and we
Poisoning our vision with a fatal fallacy
Selected and intended only to unbalance me
Look at where they led us to and where we ought to be
Blood is running from the pockets of the men who make us free
Who sell the bombs and rockets as a private industry
Sometimes I wonder how they sleep it's such a travesty
Thank the lord that I can see the lie and feel the tragedy
Sometimes I think it's killing me

There is no need to fear
You can play it all by ear
We rise up into flight
From the dark into the light
And everyone is here
Every soul that you hold dear
Nothing more than sightless children playing
In the road at night

You never saw it coming did you?
You never saw it 'till it hit you
The warning signs all flew right past you
You couldn't name them if I asked you
