Roger Taylor - The Unblinking Eye Lyrics






God would weep
if he existed
and he saw what man can do to man
He'd think that we were twisted

His unblinking eye would blink and then
He'd say not in my name you don't
you stupid little men
With your arrogance and ignorance
you do it time and time again

I must be getting old
There's a fire and a fury
driven deep into my soul
It's the helplessness that comes
from being under your control
And everything is broken

We got the High Street full of holes
The High Street's full of holes
High Street's full of holes

Five million cameras stare at us
They treat us like we're fools
Our privacy is meaningless
We're suffocating by ten thousand rules

This Kingdom's not united
Just a complicated mess
Are we in Europe
Half in Europe
Not in Europe
We're soulless, spineless, directionless

I must be getting old
There's a fire and a fury
driven deep into my soul
It's the helplessness that comes
from being under your control
And everything is broken
Stylophone!
And everything is broken

Why send our young men out to die
in wars that we don't understand
Why on earth should we be meddling
in places like Afghanistan

The price is much too high
in terms of money or our precious men
Your reasons are mysterious
and quite beyond ken

I must be getting old
There's a fire and a fury
driven deep into my soul
It's the helplessness that comes
You even sold our gold
And everything is broken

Roger Taylor The Unblinking Eye Comments
  1. C.... ....

    An Ode to Tony Blair's Britain. At least the Europe question has now been answered, Roger.

  2. T.... M....

    Very John Lennon only better. Full and lovely. He has 5 kids to leave on this broken planet. Touching.

  3. S.... S....

    Even though Roger has so eloquently sung about the state of affairs in his own country, his words could just as easily have been talking about what's been going on here, in the United States Of America. Someone mentioned that Roger and Bruce Springsteen should get together, I have another suggestion: Their voices would complement each other nicely I think, and they both play the same instrument-drums. I'm referring to Roger Taylor and Don Henley of The Eagles.

  4. K.... B....

    Wow this is amazing , what a talented brilliant man our Roger is ... Fabulous song ...

  5. M.... ....

    thats what songs sould be about and not drugs and stuff like that

  6. D.... Y....

    that's pretty sad sounding.. are there songs that he's produced "after Freddi Mercury".. I know he has the talent...

    D.... Y....

    Yep he's had three different albums. Definitely worth checking out!

  7. M.... ....

    AHH his songs are still so beautiful... HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO TALENTED AND CUTE AND HOT AND EVERYTHING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME

  8. D.... ....

    This song is so relevant today...predictions of our broken country today in 2019...

  9. F.... T....

    still the greatest. you're the best, lovely Roger

  10. g.... ....

    GOD does exist, Roger. And, HE loves you! Turn round to seek His Face.

  11. M.... B....

    The Man Is A Genius!!

  12. I.... F....

    Eu Jane quero te conhecer

  13. R.... L....

    Roger Taylor, You are Still Amazing, and your voice is still absolutely beautiful. Please, Roger, keep your music coming. You were always an Awesome singer, and a beautiful person. I truly love your music and the passion that you put into it!! Thank You, Roger Taylor, or(blondie), as I have Freddie call you before. ❤😘😍👑

  14. M.... L....

    A truth . . . a truth that hurts cause "what are we to do?"

  15. M.... T....

    His songs are so meaningful.

  16. B.... ....

    Brilliant song. It just makes you think how much Taylors input went into Queen. With Mercurys voice, Mays lead guitaring & Deacons bass, they were untouchable! Love the line, you even sold our gold!! Imagine Mercury singing this, wow!

  17. N.... C....

    God bless you Roger, love this song.

  18. m.... ....

    You are wonderful Roger. 70s, 80s, 90s, through to today 2019. Thank you for all you have shared.💜

  19. R.... K....

    ''This kindom's not united
    Just a complicated mess
    Are we in Europe
    Half in Europe?
    Not in Europe''


    And Roger had no idea how that verse became even more relevant in 2019

  20. T.... M....

    Delicious song, albeit sad. Roger is of my generation and yes, we don’t understand why boys are sent to die in Afghanastan, or any Stan. Deep anger in our souls reminding us of times of old.

  21. I.... L....

    God I love him . He's hot . And talented

    I.... L....

    Who didn't love him ?!

  22. B.... C....

    Wow. This really surprised me. Both the quality of Roger's voice and the depth of the lyrics. He has always been the more political member of Queen...would like to hear more like this.

  23. l.... b....

    Brilliant <3

  24. I.... L....

    His voice
    His eyes
    HIM AOSJDJSND

  25. D.... M....

    Great Voice!!!

  26. I.... L....

    His voice
    His eyes
    *HIM*

  27. j.... ....

    This Kingdom's not united
    Just a complicated mess
    Are we in Europe
    Half in Europe
    Not in Europe


    He wrote that in 2009?? Is he psychic?? 😂

  28. G.... S....

    Beautiful, just beautiful Roger ❤

  29. C.... B....

    100% Roger Taylor

  30. J.... H....

    Your material never disappoints and the songs in which you speak of our society and ourselves are so - wish i had the word! Had I the word it would better set up my attempt at humour: So, Roger, how do you feel about your car these days? ...Bravo, man!

  31. G.... N....

    Questa é musica,stupenda!

  32. E.... L....

    Que lindo 😢😭😭😭me emociona esto, nunca va ser diferente, un abrazo desde Paraguay

  33. S.... M....

    Roger Taylor the best voice and talent🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎵🎵🎵🎵

  34. n.... y....

    Roger is so talented

  35. T.... ....

    Wait...this was written BEFORE Brexit? Wow. First the anti Nazi song and now this, people needed to listen to Roger more.

  36. T.... C....

    Sheer brilliance!

  37. F.... S....

    Sad and Depressing Song. I hope God touches his heart so they are close. We do have freewill and I am sure Jesus does weep because many
    turn a blind eye to him.

  38. B.... V....

    The perfect song? for this world.

  39. A.... W....

    And still relevant today...sadly ..oh and that sad lonely pub is now a sainsburys express!!.fantastic song Roger! X

  40. Y.... ....

    I truly wish Roger can compose more songs with his deep thought and philosophy.  I would appreciate reading full lyrics of this song.

  41. R.... A....

    This gave me goosebumps I swear. He is really too much talented, an incredibly amazing songwriter and his voice is so deep and husky.. He gets me every time I listen to him and makes me feel so good, thoughts less, happy and emotional, especially in this case. His art has never and it will never aged, it is probably just going to grow and grow infinitely. Lots of admiration for this wonderful man, and big LEGEND.💎

  42. G.... A....

    Yes Roger speak truth, uhav every right... your hair color is as a silver lining in the clouds as this song is to the overcast skies upon humanity. I love your personal touch to your music video here, God bless 😚u!

  43. N.... T....

    Господи, как несправедливо что мы стареем. Какой красавчик был..

  44. V.... T....

    These brilliant lyrics remind me of the book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon concluded that wealth, power, position, pleasure, work, and wisdom were all meaningless, so we need to surrender to God, who sees all. Great song, RT!

  45. j.... ....

    Who knew??? Beautiful. Wish it wasn't so blurry.

  46. E.... ....

    my love for Roger has no end

  47. p.... a....

    Me fascina como desbarata la batería este muchacho , creo que es uno de los 5 mejores bateristas de todos los tiempos en el mundo !!! El tiempo es el único que no perdona ,pero Roger no ha cambiado mucho !!!!

  48. D.... R....

    Excelente canción Roger !!

  49. k.... L....

    I love how he makes acoustic emo music now lol

  50. D.... S....

    His voice 😍😍❤

  51. M.... D....

    Él siempre hermoso Roger Taylor...

  52. D.... S....

    At the end of the day,
    The human race is one people.
    The country of humanity IS...
    This beautiful Earth!!!
    Why, will you not see...
    The insanity...
    And, Roger, you're so right...
    "Everything is Broken"!!!

    Beautiful, Roger. Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you!!!
    I love you!!! ♥️♥️♥️

  53. A.... F....

    Did this echo Innuendo for anyone else? Good song. Talented man.

  54. R.... a....

    if roger was to pass i feel brian may needs to sing this with rogd in the holographic backround

  55. Z.... M....

    Roger's solo career reminds me of Pink Floyd !! same vibes

  56. �.... ....

    로저 전 당신과 사랑에 빠졌어요💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

  57. A.... W....

    Ele é muito foda!!!!

  58. �.... ....

    귀염둥이 로저💜💜💜💜💜😒

  59. L.... A....

    Roger tienen que venir a Argentina otra vez !!!

  60. L.... A....

    Te quiero mucho. Roger sos un mago.

  61. V.... T....

    No cabe duda cada uno de Queen es especial por eso fue, es y serán eternos y recordados por su música Roger 💗

  62. a.... ....

    has the voice of some famous singer, what I managed to remember was Rod Stewart. nice voice! is that freedy was egocentric so he did not sing.

  63. A.... ....

    Love Rogers Voice.......its not many people that beat Freddie to the b side of Bohemiam Rhapsody

    A.... ....

    You cant compare these too!

  64. v.... n....

    Sublime Roger

  65. F.... A....

    Another political based song.
    Just like Brian May.
    Just take care of yourself, fuck it.

  66. F.... A....

    Voice is shot.

    Sucks, most vocalist are eating steroids while on tour.
    So what ever.

  67. K.... ....

    It seems to me that this song is entirely lyrics driven. It's all very well having a strong political message but for me, music has to come first. If it has powerful lyrics then that's a bonus but the music has to stand up on its own. Roger's priority is definitely lyrics (unlike May/Mercury). Completely valid but just not for me. I quite like his Strange Frontier album.

  68. S.... B....

    slow music yet powerful.meaningful lyrics. roger shows his grief,anger and wisdom ,all in one. heart piercing song

  69. F.... ....

    I think that's my HIWATT @ 1.20

  70. S.... B....

    hey Roger. simply beautiful. just want to say love from india

  71. A.... M....

    0:39 HE plays piano!!!!

    I love you, Rog! Underrated musician 🖤❤

  73. V.... D....

    This is real life David Brent

  74. B.... A....

    Me enamoré 😱

  75. T.... ....

    I like the music,but I Don't love this kind of rock.You are great Roger,but I like Queen's rock,pop rock and rock.But still,it's good music!!

  76. m.... ....

    Bowie meets Rod Stewart

  77. R.... C....

    He still beautiful

  78. T.... 1....

    Great man,great musician.

  79. C.... A....

    Never put queen down or roger Taylor down I protect them they are legend and Freddie mercury I miss him

  80. C.... A....

    That's brilliant song from roger Taylor the words I believe it keep rocking roger Taylor I love you wish you well

  81. M.... P....

    Wow,first time I see Roger plays piano :)

  82. E.... F....

    1 Million Views!

  83. M.... V....

    A band that such a gifted guy like that on a "stunt" position couldn't be less than what we've known. They conquered the world in our hearts and minds and there they'll live forever.

  84. d.... s....

    great roger! you always liked Bowie... you have the same sound now!!!! love it (of course)

  85. D.... 1....

    as usual, Roger wrote the music, lyrics and recorder all the instruments

  86. S.... G....

    His songs show that he is a deep thoughtful man like in his recent most one which gives me last moment on earth vibes that makes me fear his death

  87. k.... m....

    Following Adam lambert . . I have rediscovered Queen . . . and listening to music by roger Taylor . . I didn't know existed . . and loving it!!!!

  92. R.... H....

    I noticed this song approximately 3 years ago. Not before but nowadays, I appreciate that, especially when I have red and translate the lyrics. I share his elders generation view on EU reality. Great song!

  93. K.... A....
