Tripping a Blind Man

Say the word and I’ll be healed opened eyes
Grease my wheels since my vision’s been restored

Trip me once shame on you Trip me twice I’m the fool
Thought it’s hidden I've been cured

Patience is divine but the virtue is not mine
Turn your cheek gets ripped off
That’s why we’re given four

This is how you spend life amused by another’s strife
Makes me so sad and confused
Someone’s pain your leisure
Can’t explain sick pleasure I’m so glad I'm not you

Throwing wrenches gave a false sense of power
What started sweet will soon turn sour
You think it’s your place to dispense justice
Well I’ve been sent to judge the judges

God damn love cause it’s breaking my heart
And if I had one wish I’d seen in the dark

Tripping a blind man so easy to do
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

Now who the fuck are you to discipline me
Innocence condemned by the guilty

God damn love cause it’s breaking my heart
And if I had one wish I’d seen in the dark

Losing his grip of his seeing dog’s spiky collar
Panicking, the startled pet ran to the street
Sanitation truck skidding, unable to stop
Shoveled up what was left of his canine Spot

As they left, the ground turned muddy crimson
Where’s my mutt? The victim requested
EMS responded “he had to say bye”
Teary eyed, the old man cried then died

Patience is divine but the virtue is not mine
Turn your cheek gets ripped off
That’s why we’re given four
