I am blind, and I cannot see
You out there
Your pain and evil
Don’t bother me
Oh blame it on the clothes you wear
Laughin down on me
But I don’t care
Ride on
Ride on for the darkness (2)

Oh bitter fool

But I have some sense of it
Is to educated people
Underlined by society
Breakin all the rules
And holding back the schools
Theres only one thing
You can prove
You got a hell of a nation
And as Curtis once said
Ride on, ride on for the darkness
I am blind and I cannot seem to understand
Whats this thing called justice

Is it really level for a man
As long as you know you must
All your childrens trust
So ride on
Ride on for the darkness

We’re livin in a mixed up world of tears
Soon everyones eyes will see
I can hear all the people scream
This world has put a heavy load on me
So ride on
Ride on for the darkness

(Curtis Mayfield – Warner Chappell Music)
