Lyrics of

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?

[guitar solo]

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?
