I took a trip downtown

Anytown, U.S.A.

Lots of people looking like

Somewhere along the line

They lost their way

All their possessions piled

High in a shopping cart

I look the other way I don't

Want to feel the pain

My heart's not made of

Stone if I don't see then I

Don't know

I wonder if I'm better off

With my eyes closed



I turn on NPR never mind

I think I heart that before

Some new crisis coming

Down or some new war

It's an ugly mess it's a

Crazy scene but hey it

Don't affect me

It can't hurt me it can't find

Me shut it off and don't

Remind me

I don't care because

I am unaware

I wonder if I'm better off with

My eyes closed



I'm so happy here I'm snug

And cozy in my nest

Soup's on the shades are

Drawn and I'm in bliss

My music washes over

Me and I feel fine

I shut the door to save

My mind I shut the door

On humankind

I shut it out and I turned

Away I'm just afraid like everybody else

I wonder if I'm better off

With my eyes closed
