Blind

Liner Notes
This word has been running through my head for the past couple days and it has come out as a song. Dedicated to the warped people cheering on Trump at the CPAC convention and others. I did this in Open D tuning.
Lyrics
Chorus: Close the windows, close the doors I prefer to know no more I'm blind I prefer to be blind
Don't let me know what's going on It's not happening to me It's happening to those bureaucrats Down in Washington, D.C (chorus)
Don't tell me about farmers Who don't have food subsidies They are going to go bankrupt It's not happening to me. (chorus)
Don't tell me about immigrants Sent to Guantanamo Bay If the president says they're criminals They belong there, anyway (chorus)
Don't tell me about the rich folks Who are greedy and want more Who are waving around chainsaws And cutting down the poor (chorus)
Don't talk to me about democracy Looks like it might just fall apart..
I'm blind I prefer to be blind I'm blind I prefer to be blind

Nicely done! Yeah, sadly this crazy 2025 world is a songwriting gift that keeps giving. I like the message and the melody here.. good work!
The simple message with the open tuning grabs me. Somber, sad and ironic.
Love the sound of the open tuning here, as well as the sad sentiment. Your chords and melody are simple and strong, like all the best folk tunes!
Right on, love the message here and the music that is supporting it, they go together perfectly in my opinion and combined add a certain beauty to bigger pictured of the whole song.
Wow, nice! This song is one of several this FAWM that I enjoy RE: protest. Love people like you who share your thoughts amid all the chaos. Thank you!
