Blindfold Lyrics by Old Man Markley

Down Side Up

0

(One, two. One, two. One, two, three, four!)
Form a line and wait your turn, you only get what you have earned
The less you know the more it burns, keep filling up the oil in that old lantern
Trading years for an hourly wage, ripping out the following page
These walls feel more and more like a cage, you're looking older than your age
Is this what you wanted to be?
Don't you think it's time to rip off the blindfold
Or just keep doing what you're told?
Wake up, close your eyes, step into the crowd
In your head you're screaming, but you're not making a sound
Time is ticking; it's the only thing you hear
The smile on your face is insincere
Another hour gone, it's adding up to years
Every passing minute, you're holding back your tears
Your heart beats faster every second through your chest
Until you're gone, don't count on any rest
Is this what you wanted to be?
Don't you think it's time to rip off the blindfold
Or just keep doing what you're told?
Is this what you wanted to be?
Don't you think it's time to rip off the blindfold
Or just keep doing what you're told?
