You’ve Got To Be Blind

Verse 1
Stacy had some hopes and dreams.
She watched them crumble down in disbelief.
She got pregnant at a young age.
Her father told her you make me ashamed.
And those memories they’re hard to loose.
They get down deep and get a hold on you.
You’ve got to shake them or they’ll ruin your life.
Make you bitter and full of strife.

Chorus
You’ve got to be blind to what you see.
You’ve got to be deaf to what you hear.
Or they’ll never know, who you really are, until you show them.

Verse 2
Franky went off to school.
His mother taught him about the golden rule.
He’s got those freckles and red hair.
Steps on the bus, he can feel the stares.
And those memories they’re hard to loose.
They get down deep and get a hold on you.
You’ve got to shake them or they’ll ruin your life.
Make you bitter and full of strife.

Chorus
You’ve got to be blind to what you see.
You’ve got to be deaf to what you hear.
Or they’ll never know, who you really are, until you show them.

Verse 3
Every story starts the same.
Some people learn how to play the game.
And you’ll be weary at the end of the day.
If you worry about what people say.
And those memories they’re hard to loose.
They get down deep and get a hold on you.
You’ve got to shake them or they’ll ruin your life.
Make you bitter and full of strife.
