Blind To The Truth – Dan Fogelberg – letras

In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as dayYou spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes awayFrom the crisis we’ve created with our self-indulgent waysLiving like there’s no tomorrow, well that just might be the caseNow they’re tearing down the forests and the jungles of BrazilWithout a second thought about the species that they killBut extinction is forever and still the forests fallAnd push it ever closer to extinction for us allBut you’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truthAnd you can’t see nothingCause you’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truthAnd the judgment day is comingNow the politicians bicker on the early evening newsPledging their allegiance to whoever they can useThe corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soarThey don’t care what they make next month just as long as it is moreThey take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wallJust so they can build another Goddamn shopping mallAnd it doesn’t seem to matter if they cannot see the starsAs long as they can keep on building obsolescent carsThey’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truthNo they can’t see nothingThey’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truthBut the judgment day is comingNow you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the airThe sky is ripping open and you still don’t seem to careThe soil is tired and toxic and unable to provideThe clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hideNow there’s laws that we must live by and they’re not the laws of manCan’t you see the shadow that moves across this landThe future is upon us and there’s so much we must doAnd you know I can’t ignore it and my friend neither can youUnless you’re blind to the truth, blind to the truthAnd you can’t see nothingYou’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
