Fogelberg Dan Blind To The Truth Lyrics

Blind To The Truth Lyrics

In the overcrowded cities
Where the nights are bright as day
You spend
your weekly paycheck
And turn your eyes away
From the crisis we've
created
With our self-indulgent ways
Living like there's no
tomorrow
Well that just might be the case.
Now they're tearing down the
forests
In the jungles of Brazil
Without a second thought about
The
species that they kill
But extinction is forever
And still the forests
fall
And push it ever closer to
Extinction for us all.
Chorus
But
you're so blind to the truth
Blind to the truth
And you can't see
nothin'
You're so blind to the truth
Blind to the truth
But the
judgement day is coming.
Now the politicians bicker
On the early evening
news
Pledging their allegiance
To whoever they can use
And the
corporate bosses snicker
As they watch the profits soar
They don't care
what they make next month
Just as long as it is more.
The take our farms
and marshlands
Drive nature to the wall
Just so they can build
another
Goddamn shopping mall
And it doesn't seem to matter
If we
cannot see the stars
Just as long as they can keep
On building
obsolescent cars
'Cause they're so...
(Repeat chorus)
Now you cannot
drink the water
And you cannot breathe the air
The sky is ripping open
and you
Still don't seem to care
The soil is tired and toxic
And
unable to provide
The clock is running out and
There is nowhere left to
hid.
Now there's laws that we must live by
And they're not the laws of
man
Can't you see the shadow
That moves across this land
The future is
upon us
And there's so much we must do
And you know I can't ignore
it
And, my friend, neither can you
Unless you're...
(Repeat chorus)
