Lyrics
Hind Sight's Blind Spot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Were you alive a hundred years ago?
Were you alive a hundred years ago?
What'll they say a hundred years from now?
What'll they say a hundred years from now?
Have you ever spoken with the dead?
Have you ever spoken with the dead?
No one knows, no one will ever know
No one has so who will you believe?
It's a trick question, I'm afraid
Every generation takes the truth to it's grave
If you could only see
If you only just knew
We are not free just because we can choose
If you could only see
If you only just knew
We really have nothing to lose
We are not free just because we can choose
What kind of people record history?
What kind of people record history?
How do we know that they're to be trusted?
How do we know that they're to be trusted?
Why would they lie and who would benefit?
Why would they lie and who would benefit?
Fundamentalists, so take a guess
To keep control of us all to themselves
It's a trick question I'm afraid
Every generation takes the truth to it's grave
If you could only see
If you only just knew
We are not free just because we can choose
If you could only see
If you only just knew
We really have nothing to lose
We are not free just because we can choose
Now that I rule the world
They'll look back on me
What a great man he was
A dark day in history
And no one will be left alive
To say a single word
It'll start all over again
Like a million times before
Were you alive a hundred years ago?
What'll they say a hundred years from now?
Have you ever spoken with the dead?
No one has, no one will ever know
What kind of people record history?
How do you know that they're to be trusted?
Why would they lie and who would benefit?
Fundamentalists so take a guess
If you could only see
If you only just knew
We are not free just because we can choose
If you could only see
If you only just knew
We really have nothing to lose
We are not free just because we can choose
