about

the loss of our fourth estate.

lyrics

Borrow trouble, lend a hand
we left our silent lives behind
in a house of cards on shifting sand
at the edge of the sea, in the land of the blind

We had it all and we let it go
just a bunch of fools without a clue
hypnotized by the TV show
hopin' it would tell us what to do

In the land of the blind, in the land of the blind
in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

We had it all and we threw it out
that easy life, it was fine with me
but now I know what it was all about
and it's a helluva road to eternity

In the land of the blind, in the land of the blind
in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

Oh the one-eyed man he plays his fiddle
and everybody sings along
but there's no one left to solve the riddle
they're dancin' to a one-eyed song

The light's a-dyin' and it's fadin' fast
blind man got no day or night
if you're livin' every day like it's your last
y'know, one of these days you might be right

In the land of the blind, in the land of the blind
in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

In the land of the blind, in the land of the blind
livin' in the land of the blind,
we're followin' a one-eyed man
