Tried so hard just to live and forget and forgive   And to live by their rules   And to try to fit in I would do anything   Like a poor blinded fool      "You must do what they say and not question the way   "That was chosen for you"   I thought that was the way that life had to be   Until I found out the truth      Now I open my eyes   It's just like I was blind      In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind      Now they think I don't see, poor derision on me   With their hypocrisy   Cynical egotist, government hypnotist   Too small minded to see      And the truth is so bright like a blinding light   My true path I could find   Theories incomplete sceptics I must defeat   For my own peace of mind      Now I open my eyes   It's just like I was blind      In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind   (I was blind to the truth)      You think you got freedom now   That's how they hold you down   You think you got freedom now   That's how they hold you down (down)      You think you got freedom now   That's how they hold you down   You think you got freedom now   That's how they hold you      Tried so hard just to live and forget and forgive   And to live by their rules   You must do what they say not question the way   "That was chosen for you"   I thought that was the way that life had to be   Until I found out the truth      Now I open my eyes   It's just like I was blind      In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind   (I was blind to the truth)      In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind   In the land of the blind   (I was blind to the truth)
