Blindsided

Lyrics

[Intro: Matt Hughes] Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up! [Verse 1: Tristan O'Malley] Now somebody is out there on a streetcorner Preaching about the evils of the people Who are voting on the right While I am in a kitchen chopping parsley and lettuce And washing up the dishes till the end of the night 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 I'll never understand how it relates to me and you [Chorus: Tristan O'Malley] But what do I know? And what do I care? If I close my eyes I'm blindsided [Verse 2: Tristan O'Malley] 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 of 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 [Chorus: Tristan O'Malley] But what do I know? And what do I care? If I close my eyes I'm blindsided [Chorus: Tristan O'Malley] But what do I know? And what do I care? If I close my eyes I'm blindsided
