Blind Eye - Ron Sexsmith

Off in a world of our own

Where the discordant tone

Of unrest never riles

Our sleepy town of denial

Where all of the tears people cry

Fall on deaf ears

For we turn a blind eye

Off on our way to the stars

Over discos and bars

No rest for the like

Of the wicked despite

Knowing all of the tears people cry

May fall on deaf ears

If we turn a blind eye

We could lose a lot of sleep if we weren’t so numb

To the steady stream of those who struggle in the night

Through the tunnel at the end of the light

God must have gone fishing now

With all that Hell’s dishing out

One question have I

(Don't expect a reply though)

All of the tears people cry

Do they fall on deaf ears?

Do you just turn a blind eye?
