Behind Blue Eyes
The Chieftains

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man, to be the sad man behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like

To be hated, to be fated to telling only lies


But my dreams, they aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance that's never free


No one knows what it's like

To feel these feelings like I do and I blame you

No one bites back as hard on their anger

None of my pain and woe can show through


But my dreams, they aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely


My love is vengeance that's never free


When my fist clenches, crack it open

Before I use it and lose my cool

When I smile, tell me some bad news

Before I laugh and act like a fool


And if I swallow anything evil

Put your finger down my throat

And if I shiver, please give me a blanket

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat


No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man, to be the sad man

Behind blue eyes
