The Who "Behind Blue Eyes"

I've always related to this song right from the opening lines.



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


If I swallow anything evil

Put your finger down my throat

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.
