Song | They're Blind |
Artist | The Replacements |
Album | Don't Tell A Soul [Expanded Edition] |
作曲 : Westerberg | |
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 |

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 | |

If you run to me, run, run | |
Only like the day with her | |
Only like a date with her | |
