Why have you put so many things into my eyes That I can't see clear Who's paid you for telling me what I'm worth And run in fear It has been for me a strain to see already What have you done The rising noise The sharpened smells The deadened sight What is it in my eyes A piece of broken glass Is this the time I should be on my knees for you Is this your way of telling Another has been found Now I know It's teargas in my eyes
