They lied about the function of the eyes
About the walls and the doors and the mirrors inside
I saw a mushroom cloud, I took a rocket's ride
And the flash of the blast really opened my eyes
I went BOOM DOOM
I've been living in a dream
Now I’m washing my hands will they ever come clean?
I went BOOM DOOM
I'm not naked and free
While the eyes of the blind are all staring at me

[Pre-Chorus]
My kind is the indifferent kind
Shove a man in the valley of the blind
What are you afraid you'll see
If you open your eyes and take a look at me

Tell me once, tell me fifteen times
Just give me my cue and I’ll remember my lines
Cause I’m quick, I'm fast, and I aim to please
Tell me what you want, and that's what I’ll be
I went BOOM DOOM
And I heard someone laugh, "Get your ass on the floor," as they kicked in the door
I went BOOM DOOM
We're dying like flies
But I’m hypnotized by the look in your eyes

My kind is the indifferent kind
Shove a man in the valley of the blind
What are you afraid you'll see
If you open your eyes and take a look at me

[Chorus]
Don't you look at me?
Don't you want to see?
What you made of me?
What I want to be?
WHAT YOU SEE
THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO BE

Look at me
Why don't you look at me?
Why don't you look at me?
Why don't you look at me?
Why don't you look at me?
You'll see

I must have been mean or bad
I must have spoke out of turn or made somebody mad
Although I have never been a dominant force
I just slide along, take the easiest course
There is nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you see, to get through to you
I haven't crawled through a jungle of lies
Just to be hypnotized by the look in your eyes
I went BOOM DOOM
All is not what is seems
I'm a fool, I've been had, I've been living in a dream
I went BOOM DOOM
I'm not naked and free
While the eyes of the blind are all staring at me

My kind is the indifferent kind
Shove a man in the valley of the blind
What are you afraid you'll see
If you open your eyes and take a look at me

Won't you look at me?
Don't you want to see?
What you made of me?
What I want to be?
NOT A DAMN THING
NOTHING
THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO BE

Look at me
Why don't you look at me?
Why don't you look at me?
Why don't you look at me?
Why don't you look at me?
You'll see
