Blinded By The Right

Arcade Fire · Other Songs - Arcade Fire

You could be President if your daddy was first



If your brother the governor had the power to coerce



It's absurd but he could change laws so certain votes were heard



For what it's worth, that "democratic" election could be yours



Blinded by the Right



It's the beginning of the end



Now Big Brother is your friend



The Patriot Act enacted allows the government in



To see how you spend, read what you read, jail you indefinitely



And defend they don't intend to end your personal privacy



Blinded by the Right



It's fucked up being seduced by the coalition of Christ



Ignore the Saudis though they backed the 9/11 attacks



Why fight economic allies who share a border with Iraq



Deceive and say Saddam hides weapons that might blow up the US



Let's take him out instead, yeah, and make the Iranians next



We'll feel good about ourselves though Bin Laden is on the run



While Saddam Hussein appears as public enemy number one



Conveniently forgetting it's the Saudis we should fight against



Neglect the UN



Ship kids and bring them back in a body bag



Is it a quagmire yet?



I'll bet this ain't as bad as it gets



Just ask your local hero the homeless Vietnam Vet



What was it like losing your friends fighting a cause that wasn't just?



Well, son, it just was what it was, justice I never saw



Blinded by the Right



It's fucked up being seduced by the coalition of Christ



I wish my vote counted



I wish my vote was counted



I was Blinded, Blinded



I wish my vote was counted



Blinded, Blinded



I was
