They're Blind Lyrics - Kelly Willis

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 

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 

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 

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 

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 

Letting you burn 

'Cause they're blind 

'Cause they're blind
