Blind Ambition Songtext
von The Partisans

I woke up in the morning and was looking for a sign
I thought that I was doing well and everything was fine
But as the hours passed and it did not last
The people laughed as they walked on past
They looked at me strange as they walked out of range
I heard their other friends try to put me to the test

I was up all day and I was up all night
Wondering when things would turn out right

My heart is for those who cannot see the right from wrong
They cannot find their way although they say that they are strong
Contagious and confined to a life of misery
Like a flounder who′s ambition was to swim the raging sea


I did my best to beat the rest
To be a man and work it out
The people said I was going mad
That I'd lost all sanity I′d ever had
Was it the drugs or was it the pressure?
Could it be the life on the never never?

Plastic people were all around
Happy with their dreams and their safe park sound

My heart is for those who cannot see the right from wrong
They cannot find their way although they say that they are strong
Contagious and confined to a life of misery
Like a flounder who's ambition was to swim the raging sea

Don't put me down ′cause I′m different to you
Don't slap me off and I won′t slap you
Beat me up if it pleases you
You're Mr. Nobody, I see through you
You′ve got your car and you've got your house
Your kids are very happy in their happy happy house
Holidays when you need a break
Dancing in the discos to a dead break
Hit your kids if they step out of line
Send them to school, make sure they do fine
