Lou Kelly - Blind in the Light Lyrics

Jesus sold my soul for some water and bread
Now he's drunk every Sunday night
The Devil sowed my soul with a needle and thread
Then he gave me back to the light

Callous saints scold kind sinners
Lucky losers beat sore winners
Clueless masters teach wise beginners
We're all blind in the light

Mama let me sank into the depths of despair
She said, "Boy, you'll never be a man"
Papa passed a pint and tousled my hair
And said, "This will keep your head in the sand"

Lovers in the midst of the plots that turn and twist
Children get quiet when they see a closed fist
Sad stories stained on their wrists
We're all blind in the light

Preacher from the penthouse
Sinning from revivals
Covet they religion and all of they idols
Looking everywhere for my goddamn bible
But I'm blind in the light

I just can't stand the light
