Comfortable Blind

Comfortable Blind

Why don’t you use plain ol’ words
That I am used to hearin’?
It’s your pinko poofter leanin’s
I am really fearin’

Don’t give me all that about
Yer finer shades of feelin’
I think that’s a load of crap
With which you are dealin’

Red is red and blue is blue
Purple when you add ’em up
But it works best fer me to say
Just plain ol’ “red plus blue,” ah-yup!

Why you make it into work?
Why you want to stretch ma mind?
What you want to make me see?
I’m plenty comfortable blind!
