Flashlight - Blindsided lyrics

Now, somebody is out there on a streetcorner Preaching about the evils of the people who are voting on the right While I'm working in a kitchen chopping parsley and lettuce And washing up the dishes till the end of the night When 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 And i'll never understand how it relates to me and you What do I know? What do I care? If I close my eyes I'm blindsided 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 from 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
