Lyrics
Stupid and Blind
The world seems so small through a bird's eye
Flying up in the sky, flapped to get high
The world seems so grand through the eyes of an ant
Towering creatures stand, oh monopoly of man
Moving on in my way of thinking
Am I progressing? Am I sinking?
The thought of a miracle leaves doubt in my mind
I can't be that stupid. I can't be that blind. I'm just stupid and blind.
Everything I've been shown kicked me in the eye
Your trying to keep me down oh no, still I'm alive
Moving on in my way of thinking
Am I progressing? Am I sinking?
The thought of a miracle leaves doubt in my mind
I can't be that stupid. I can't be that blind.
Why is it so most minds don't grow?
Too closed to know you missed the show.
Of the quietest symphony the motion of earth every second of death every moment of birth
The world seems so small through a bird's eye
Flying up in the sky, flapped to get high
Moving on in my way of thinking
Am I progressing? Am I sinking?
The thought of a miracle leaves doubt in my mind
I can't be that stupid. I can't be that blind.
