Blind Leading the Blind

[Verse 1]
Goals turned toward consumption
Away from the way we think
More concerned about what's in our pockets
Than the water that we drink
Apathy increasing
Where skepticism once prevailed
Ignorance covering the youth
Like a bride's white veil

[Chorus]
It's the blind leading the blind
Happens all the time
In our politics and our schools
Now's the time to wake up before we end up fools

[Verse 2]
Convenience is the rule
In life from day to day
Reduction of ambition
Is becoming the way
Education lowers its standards
In an attempt to be fair
Lack of encouragement
Causes students not to care

[Chorus]
It's the blind leading the blind
Happens all the time
In our politics and our schools
Now's the time to wake up before we end up fools

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Wake up and smell the coffee
Separate the fiction from the fact
Look at the world today
And you'll see it's time to act
Changing one's actions
Is certainly a start
But only if the change
Comes truly from the heart

[Chorus]
It's the blind leading the blind
Happens all the time
In our politics and our schools
Now's the time to wake up before we end up fools
