"In The Land Of The Blind" lyrics
"In The Land Of The Blind"
The priest wears a black-eye patch and fake Prada perfume
On his walking cane is the Holy Roman ring
He wants to blindfold you all alone in his bedroom
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Hosanna closes her eyes at St. Peter's urging
She tapes them shut so she can't see anything
She don't know it yet but she's no longer virgin
Here in the land of the blind the one eyed snake is king
Cyclopse in the White House understands it
Keeps everyone snow-blind from the Great West Wing
He knows your rules don't apply here in the snake pit
It's the land of the blind and the one eyed-man is king
Every night you pray or it is wishin'?
Cause you're in no position to ask for anything
I'm guided by a warning light from heaven
Inspired by the violent Arab Spring
I nearly died once in a wrecked Porcshe 911
But in the land of the dead, the dying man is king
You're looking for someone to lead you through this
I'm standing here, let's do this
Throw my hat into the ring
He sentenced me to eternity in an excile
Then drew the battle lines with David's sling
Gave every sightless clown a nucleur missile
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Oh, meet me at your Momma's by the Parkway
And I'll free your soul from every Apron string
In the execution hood you wore All Saints' Day
We'll join the land of the blind where the one eyed man is king

John Mellencamp - "What Kind Of Man Am I" My words don't know the truth
They flutter as I speak
The sickness I feel under my belt
Is the disdain I have for me
I've asked you to stand tall
But it's me who's fallen down
A better man I'd like...
Sweet - "Fox On The Run" I don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
O.K. you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked alright before
Fox on the run...
Ted Nugent - "The Music Made Me Do It" You couldn't fantasize that brand new sound
That Les Paul guitar noise turned the world upside down
Oh yeah, the music made me do it
Not a damn thing I can do
Oh yeah, the music made me do it
