Dan Fogelberg - Blind to The Truth lyrics

rate me

In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day

You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away

From the crisis we've created with our self-indulgent ways

Living like there's no tomorrowwell that just might be the case

Now they're tearing down the forests and the jungles of brazil

Without a second thought about the species that they kill

But extinction is forever and still the forests fall

And push it ever closer to extinction for us all

But you're so blind to the truthblind to the truth

And you can't see nothing

Cause you're so blind to the truthblind to the truth

And the judgment day is coming

Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news

Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use

The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar

They don't care what they make next month just as long as it is more

They take our farms and marshlandsdrive nature to the wall

Just so they can build another goddamn shopping mall

And it doesn't seem to matter if they cannot see the stars

As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars

They're so blind to the truthblind to the truth

No they can't see nothing

They're so blind to the truthblind to the truth

But the judgment day is coming

Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air

The sky is ripping open and you still don't seem to care

The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide

The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide

Now there's laws that we must live by and they're not the laws of man

Can't you see the shadow that moves across this land

The future is upon us and there's so much we must do

And you know I can't ignore it and my friend neither can you

Unless you're blind to the truthblind to the truth

And you can't see nothing

You're so blind to the truthblind to the truth

But the judgment day is coming
