Now some of us are weak, and some endurenSome people live their lives with a violence that's pure and cleannBut I saw man cry once, down on his kneesnIn a corner of a darkened cell, and his pain meant nothing to mennBut I was younger thennYoung men never dienAnd I walked out in the sunnI was strong, clear-minded and blindnnNow don't say a prayer for anyonenIt doesn't do any goodnPlease don't ask me a questionnIt'd just be misunderstoodnAnd if you could step inside me you'd feel what hatred bringsnAnd if you saw with my eyes you'd see what self-deception meansnnI was younger once and I created a lienAnd though my body was strongnI was self-deluded, confident and blindnnNow show some pity for the weak of willnBecause when we're drinking we can never be fillednShow some understanding for the lonely foolnBecause when I am drinking I am out of controlnnI was never youngnNothing has transpirednAnd when I look in the mirror I feel dead, I feel coldnI am blindnI am blindnI am blindnI am blind
