Lyrics
[Verse 1] I am blind and I cannot see You are there, your petty evil don't bother me You're playing all the clothes you wear Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't care [Refrain] Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness [Verse 2] You pity fools, you pity fools You better have some sympathy, yeah 'Cause it's the educated people Running the lives of our society Makin' up the rules Holdin' back the schools Lot of greed, lot of temptation Prooves one thing, we're a hell of a nation [Refrain] Right on for the darkness Right on, right on [Post-Refrain] Right on, right on Right on, right on Right on, right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness [Verse 3] I am blind and I can't see how to understand What do we mean for justice Is there really levels to demand? All man, you know you must Regain all your children's trust [Refrain] Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness [Post-Refrain] Right on, right on Right on, right on for the darkness Right on [Verse 4] We're in a messy world of tears Through the ices' everyone will see I can hear the people's fears The world put a heavy weight on me [Refrain] Right on for the darkness Right on, right on Right on, right on for the darkness [Verse 1] I am blind and I cannot see You are there, your petty evil don't bother me You're playing all the clothes you wear Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't care [Outro] Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness Aw, aw, yeah! [Instrumental Outro]
