you can cheat until you're blind

this one is short. i am never amazed by the naivete of people -- myself included...but no more. take a stand -- speak up -- speak out.

also -- make sure you are actually saying something.

-------------------------------------


it can happen -- yes

you can fool yourself
you can cheat until you're blind
you can cut your heart
it can happen

you can mend the wires
you can feed the soul apart
you reach
it can happen to you
it can happen to me
it can happen to everyone eventually

it's a constant fight
a constant fight
you're pushing the needle to the red
black and white
who knows who's right
no substitute you're born you're dead
fly by night
created out of fantasy
our destinations call

look up - look down
look out - look around
look up - look down
there's a crazy world outside
we're not about to lose our pride

it can happen to you
it can happen to me
it can happen to everyone eventually

as you happen to say
it can happen today
as it happens
it happens in every way

this world i like
we architects of life
a song a sigh
developing words that linger
through fields of green through open eyes
this for us to see

look up - look down
look out - look around
so look up - look down
there's a crazy world outside
we're not about to lose our pride

it can happen to you
it can happen to me
it can happen to everyone eventually

as you happen to say
it can happen today
as it happens
it happens in every way

as you happen to see
it will happen to be
nothing happens to nowhere and nowhere

look up - look down
there's a crazy world outside
we're not about to lose our pride

it can happen to you
it can happen to me
it can happen to everyone eventually

as you happen to see
it will happen to be
nothing happens to nowhere and nowhere

you can fool yourself
you can cheat until you're blind
you can cut your heart

you can fool yourself
it can happen to you
you can cheat until you're blind
it can happen to me

you can cut your heart
it can happen to everyone eventually
as you happen to say
it can happen today
as it happens
it happens in every way

you can mend the wires
you can feed the soul apart
you can touch your life
you can bring your soul alive
it can happen to you
it can happen to me
it can happen to everyone eventually

as you happen to say
it can happen today
as it happens
it happens in every way
