Lyrics for Right on for the Darkness
I am blind and I cannot see You are there, your petty evil don't bother me Playing all the clothes you wear Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't care Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness You pity fools, you pity fools You better have some sympathy, yeah 'Cause there's educated people Running the lives of our society Making up the rules Holding back schools Lot of greed, lot of temptation Proof of one thing, we're a hell of a nation Right on for the darkness Right on, right on Right on, right on Right on, right on Right on, right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness I am blind and I can't see What do we need for justice Is there really enough room to demand? Old man you know too much Regain all your children's trust Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness Right on, right on Right on for the darkness Right on What a messy world of tears Through their eyes, is everyone will see I can hear the people's fears Woah, warm love's everywhere to me Right on for the darkness Right on, right on Right on for the darkness I am blind and I cannot see You are there, your petty evil don't bother me Playing all the clothes you wear Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't care Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness Right on for the darkness
