It was blindingly obvious,
But I didn't have a blind thing to do
I didn't have the first idea, not muddied nor clear
I didn't have a pot to piss in
Or a cross to bear
But I had you in my horizons
And I will plot a course there
It was like the blind leading the blind
Down a blind alley trying to find
Their blind spot, caught on the trot
With a pig's hoof and blind to the truth
The proof was in the pudding
Of the third eye and when I swallowed it down
I saw I was a spy, who had been taken over
By a consortium of lies
About the epoch and blind-sightedness
That covers up our eyes
And no I can't look the truth in the face
Who ever could stare direct at our race
And say yes I love this or no I hate that
Whether we are compared to a pig, or compared to a cat
We are animals in the frame just the same
Except Darwin could never remember his name
And Hamlet made such otherwordly claims
That for his weakness to be blindness, was enough to shoulder his blame
And Oedipus rex he couldn't complain
Of the virtue of truth telling
The blind and the lame
The good and the bad and down right mad
Who married his mother and murdered his dad
