THEY`RE BLIND — текст песни (The Replacements)

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 left aside

`Cause they`re blind
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
That fools everyone to believe
that you`re so hard to talk to
And so easy to [read] through
Yet nobody looks past your sleeve, yeah

`Cause they`re blind
They hold you too close to the light
and I see what they only might if they learn
but they`re letting you burn `cause they`re blind

They only like what they can see
An` what they can`t, they just can`t agree
If you run to me, run, run
Only like the day with her
Only like a date with her
then you`ll run back
Then you`ll run back blind

`Cause they`re blind
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

An old man said to me
Go home and take it easy
And run to me, run, run
Only like a date with her
Only one more day with her
Then I`ll run back
Then we`ll run back blind
They hold you too close to the light
And I see what they only might if they learn
But they`re letting us burn
`Cause they`re blind
