Mark Heard - Can't See Light lyrics

Billy is a man who let care slip from his clutch He stares with the eyes of a man who's seen too much His capital's gone, his dues are unpaid His heart is surrounded with a barricade He knows you don't need to be conscientious At a masquerade And he can't see light Keeps his eyes shut tight In search of a blissful ignorance But he can't find peace In a society that would reward him
