Old Man Markley - Blindfold lyrics

(One, two. One, two. One, two, three, four!) Form a line and wait your turn, you only get what you have earned The less you know the more it burns, keep filling up the oil in that old lantern Trading years for an hourly wage, ripping out the following page These walls feel more and more like a cage, you're looking older than your age Is this what you wanted to be? Don't you think it's time to rip off the blindfold Or just keep doing what you're told? Wake up, close your eyes, step into the crowd In your head you're screaming, but you're not making a sound Time is ticking; it's the only thing you hear The smile on your face is insincere Another hour gone, it's adding up to years Every pa**ing minute, you're holding back your tears Your heart beats faster every second through your chest Until you're gone, don't count on any rest Is this what you wanted to be? Don't you think it's time to rip off the blindfold Or just keep doing what you're told? Is this what you wanted to be? Don't you think it's time to rip off the blindfold Or just keep doing what you're told?
