Blind to The Truth — текст песни (Dan Fogelberg)

In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day

You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away

From the crisis weve created with our self-indulgent ways

Living like theres no tomorrow, well that just might be the case



Now theyre tearing down the forests and the jungles of brazil

Without a second thought about the species that they kill

But extinction is forever and still the forests fall

And push it ever closer to extinction for us all



But youre so blind to the truth, blind to the truth

And you cant see nothing

Cause youre so blind to the truth, blind to the truth

And the judgment day is coming



Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news

Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use

The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar

They dont care what they make next month just as long as it is more



They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall

Just so they can build another goddamn shopping mall

And it doesnt seem to matter if they cannot see the stars

As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars



Theyre so blind to the truth, blind to the truth

No they cant see nothing

Theyre so blind to the truth, blind to the truth

But the judgment day is coming



Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air

The sky is ripping open and you still dont seem to care

The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide

The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide



Now theres laws that we must live by and theyre not the laws of man

Cant you see the shadow that moves across this land

The future is upon us and theres so much we must do

And you know I cant ignore it and my friend neither can you



Unless youre blind to the truth, blind to the truth

And you cant see nothing

Youre so blind to the truth, blind to the truth

But the judgment day is coming
