Flashlight Brown Lyrics
"Blindsided"

Now, somebody is out there on a streetcorner preaching
about the evils of the people who are voting on the
right while I'm working in a kitchen chopping parsley
and lettuce and washing up the dishes till the end
of the night. When i stumble down the streetcorner
to buy myself a pony full of paint thinner,
bourbon, a girly mag or two and blah blah blah goes
the man on the corner and i'll never understand how
it relates to me and you.
What do i know?
What do i care?
If i close my eyes.
I'm blindsided.

In a barroom the Tv is flashing like a fire,
and warning of the future like a prophet from the past,
the radio is blaring like a siren in the corner,
and telling you to prepare for an all out attack,
the newspaper reads like a page from the bible and
tells us a tale of impending doom,
but blind, deaf and dumb are we and all we really care
about is who can drink the most before he goes to the bathroom.
