Blind Ambition Lyrics - Singles - The Partisans

I woke up in the morning I was looking for a sign 

I thought I was doing well and everything was fine 

But as the hours past and it did not last 

The people laughed as they walked on past 

They looked at me strange as they walked out of range 

I heard their idle threats try to put me to the test 

I was up all day and I was up all night 

Wondering when things would turn out right 

My heart it bleeds for those who cannot see the right from wrong 

They can't find a way out though they say they are strong 

Contented and confined to a life of misery 

Like a blind mans ambition to swim the raging sea 

I did my best to beat the rest, to be a man and work it out 

But people said I was going mad 

That I'd lost all sanity I'd ever had 

Was it the drugs or was it the pressure 

Could have been life on the never never 

Plastic people were all around 

Happy with their dreams and the safe pop sound 

Don't put me down cos I'm different to you 

Don't slag me off and I won't slag you 

Beat me up if it pleases you 

You are Mr. Nobody I can see through you 

You've got your car and you've got your house 

You're kids are very happy in the happy happy house 

A holiday in Spain you need a break 

Dancing in the Discos until the day break 

Hit your kids if they step out of line 

Send them to school make sure they do fine..
