Steely Dan — Were You Blind That Day

Smokey Sunday, ah you looked so unconcerned While you watched that B-town burn Were you blind that day? Bloody Mayday, when the wild ones did their looting And your boys came in there shooting Were you blind that day? You, safe in your disguise Who lives behind those eyes I could swear there's no one there Were you crying out for the ones who took the fall When the hangman took them all Were you blind that day? You, safe in your disguise Who lives behind those eyes I could swear there's no one there I saw the fireworks on the day your slaves were freed Without one man fit to lead Were you blind that day?
