Lyrics
Something strange is in the air
Faces changed with things strapped there
Couldn't make it out at first
Now I've come to fear the worst
You wear
Blinkers...
You wear
Blinkers...
And stare
Blinkers...
Who cares
Blinkers...
That's you?
With blinkers bolted to your eyes
The only thing you'll find is lies
Happy with your little lot
In blissful ignorance you rot
With your
Blinkers, etc...
I saw a shiny truth today
Thought I'd show my friends and say
"Come and see what they've prepared"
Then I saw them running scared
With their
Blinkers, etc...
Followed them to where they'd gone
I didn't have no blinkers on
Never felt so all alone
Surrounded by so many clones
Who wear
Blinkers, etc...
Told my friends they should beware
Cos blinkers make you blank and stare
Cannot see the guys behind
Who sneak up fast and steal your mind
In your
Blinkers, etc...
Once I tried your blinkers on
Thought my sanity had gone
What d'you wear those blinkers for?
Chorus said: To hide the war
We wear
Blinkers, etc...
Looked at them on the inside
Saw they wore those things with pride
Asked them how they went astray
Then they blew my head away
Oh those
Blinkers, etc...
