Behind Blue Eyes by the Who

The Who rocks. I remember my Poppop took me to see Tommy on Broadway when I was like ten maybe. I guess I have always been bound to the music I love..."But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscious seems to be..."

No one knows what it's like 
To be the bad man 
To be the sad man 
Behind blue eyes 

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams 
They aren't as empty 
As my conscience seems to be 
I have hours, only lonely 
My love is vengeance 
That's never free 

No one knows what it's like 
To feel these feelings 
Like I do 
And I blame you! 

No one bites back as hard 
On their anger 
None of my pain and woe 
Can show through 

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open 
Before I use it and lose my cool 
When I smile, tell me some bad news 
Before I laugh and act like a fool 

And If I swallow anything evil 
Put your finger down my throat 
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket 
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat 

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
