Tripping a Blind Man Lyrics

Say the word and I'll be healed
Open eyes grease my wheels
Since my vision's been restoredTrip me once, shame on you
Trip me twice, I'm the fool
Thought it's hidden I've been curedPatience is divine but the virtue is not mine
Turn your cheek it's ripped off
That's why we're giving forThis is how you spend life
Amused by another's strife
Makes me so sad and confusedSomeone's pain your leisure
Can't explain sick pleasure
I'm so glad I'm not youPatience is divine but the virtue is not mine
Turn your cheek, it's ripped off
That's why we're giving forThrowing wrenches gave a false sense of power
What started sweet will soon turn sour, oh so sour, yeah
You think it's your place to dispense justice
Well, I've been sent to judge the judges
You're damn well, so wellGoddamn love 'cause it's breaking my heart
And if I had one wish, I'd see in the darkTripping a blind man

(Tripping a blind man)
So easy to doTripping a blind man
(Tripping a blind man)
Why can't it be you?You want to play God and I know you will
If that's the case, I'll be the Devil, oh, oh, oh yeahNow who the fuck are you to discipline me?
Innocence condemned by the guilty, oh, oh, ohGoddamn love 'cause it's breaking my heart
And if I had one wish, I'd see in the darkTripping a blind man
(Tripping a blind man)
So easy to doTripping a blind man
(Tripping a blind man)
Why can't it be you?Losing grip on his seeing dog's spikey collar
Panicking, the startled pet ran to the street
Sanitation truck skidding, unable to stop
Shoveled up what was left of his canine spot, canine spotAs they left, the ground turned muddy crimson
"Where's my mutt?" The victim re-questioned
Ems responded, "He has to say bye"
Teary eyed, the old man cried then died, he diedDied, died, died
Died, died, diedPatience is divine, the virtue is not mine
Turn your cheek it's ripped off
That's why we're giving forPatience is divine, the virtue is not mine
Eat your lies, peace is nice
