Head In the Sand

You can look the other way, say you did not see a thing Do not want to get involved, let the other guy do it Beside you have to many other things to do You want to hear the music, but you don't want to sing If backed into a corner, you throw a fit That is what some people will do Don't take a stand, but go with the flow Power in numbers, but the majority is not always right Some day if you lose your right to vote That would be a sad thing for anyone to know You would lose the war without a fight And complain that you missed the boat You say you want relaxation and distractions Besides this is all to complicated to understand It works in their plan, they will give it to you Like taking candy from a baby, could care less of your reactions Like a heavy fog it will cover this land And this is what they are planning to do If your head is in the cloud, you will never see a thing If you turn a deaf ear, you will hear less Never get called on, if you do not raise your hand They want you totally numb, never feel a thing And we wonder why we are in such a mess Some live in La La Land, with their head in the sand
