If only I could reach you, I’m not tryin’ to tell you how
I don’t want to teach you
but if you’d just allow me to beseech you

Open your eyes!

Living in a deep sleep, you’re hypnotized
They’re herding you like blind sheep
Collect their prize - your soul for them to keep

Open your eyes!

They say they’re fighting for freedom
but they subjugate their own
Give you worries, give you fear, fairy tales, TV and beer
Keep you busy year to year, whisper slogans in your ear
’till you don’t know wrong from light (right)
You’ve been blinded by the right (light)

If only I could reach you, I’m not tryin’ to tell you how
I don’t want to teach you
but if you’d just allow me to beseech you

Open your eyes!

They’re giving you the rule book, you play their game
Before you have a real look, they’ve got you tamed
Free yourself from their hook

Open your eyes!

They say they fight against evil - point their finger far from home
Give you someone new to hate, enemies that they create
Fill you up with shallow views, overload with petty news
’till you don’t know right from wrong
You’ve been enchanted by their song

Open your eyes!
