-------------- I took a trip downtown Anytown, U.S.A. Lots of people looking like Somewhere along the line They lost their way All their possessions piled High in a shopping cart I look the other way I don't Want to feel the pain My heart's not made of Stone if I don't see then I Don't know I wonder if I'm better off With my eyes closed I turn on NPR never mind I think I heart that before Some new crisis coming Down or some new war It's an ugly mess it's a Crazy scene but hey it Don't affect me It can't hurt me it can't find Me shut it off and don't Remind me I don't care because I am unaware I wonder if I'm better off with My eyes closed I'm so happy here I'm snug And cozy in my nest Soup's on the shades are Drawn and I'm in bliss My music washes over Me and I feel fine I shut the door to save My mind I shut the door On humankind I shut it out and I turned Away I'm just afraid like everybody else I wonder if I'm better off With my eyes closed
