Lyrics:

The demands made upon you Are hard to live up to It's futile to try and deny And the things you hold dearly Are scoffed at and yearly Judged once and then left aside 'Cause they're blind They hold you too close to the light and I see what they only might if they'd learn but they're letting you burn 'cause they're blind To the brown-eyed beholder See the chip on your shoulder That fools everyone to believe that you're so hard to talk to And so easy to [read] through Yet nobody looks past your sleeve, yeah 'Cause they're blind They hold you too close to the light and I see what they only might if they learn but they're letting you burn 'cause they're blind They only like what they can see An' what they can't, they just can't agree If you run to me, run, run Only like the day with her Only like a date with her then you'll run back Then you'll run back blind 'Cause they're blind They hold you too close to the light and I see what they only might if they'd learn but they're letting you burn 'cause they're blind An old man said to me Go home and take it easy And run to me, run, run Only like a date with her Only one more day with her Then I'll run back Then we'll run back blind They hold you too close to the light And I see what they only might if they learn But they're letting us burn 'Cause they're blind
