All Hail Blind Love
Is this a revival
Or just the last breath
At the end of the regime?
People toast our survival
As if slogging on
Is living out the dream.
So hold up your faces
Left to your devices
You’d have killed us off
We would have never kept going
If the going wasn’t so damned rough
All hail blind love.
Don’t assume we’ve mellowed
We still think of one another
As a fraud.
Such strange bedfellows
It’s the hatred and resentment
You applaud.
So fill up your glasses
Here’s to another thirty years full of
Wounding each other
Like we just can’t get enough
All hail blind love.
All hail the trail of failures,
Slights and snide remarks
Flung with a sneer
So add your wishes here
We can only hope you’re both
Still blind next year.
So hold up your faces
Left to your devices
You’d have killed us off
We would have never kept going
If the going wasn’t so damned rough
All hail blind love.
