Honey Cone - Deaf, Blind, Paralyzed Lyrics

The world is lit, the fuses are burning
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
Oh, we're closing up to hear the wheel of the people
But we're deaf, blind, paralyzed
Oh, we've been too long (Too long)
For that old song (Old song)
We gotta be strong (Be strong)
Let's change it now, now, now

Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)

Time of all people are scared to pull the trigger
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
Oh, standing by the system that deprives a peace of living
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
Oh, we're too deaf not to hear the truth
Too blind not to see right through
And fear of need of doing something now, now, now

Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)
Oh, oh...

Oh, there can't be solutions by reading of confusion
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
Oh, we never hear the answer by the same tall strangers
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
Oh, we gotta listen (Listen)
We gotta look up (Look up)
We gotta reach out (Reach out)
And change things now, now, now

Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)

Too deaf not to hear the truth
Too blind not to see right through
And fear of need of changing something now (Now, now)
Why can't we hear it? (Why can't we hear it?)
Why can't we feel it? (Why can't we feel it?)
Why can't we see it? (Why can't we see it?)
Let's change it now (Why can't we hear it?)

Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)
Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?
(Are we deaf, blind, paralyzed?)

Why can't we hear it?
Why can't we feel it?
Why can't we see it?
Why can't we hear it? Oh...
