Rick Springfield (born Richard Lewis Springthorpe on 23 August 1949) is an Australian singer-songwriter, musician, and actor. A member of the pop rock group Zoot from 1969 to 1971, he had an initial career as a charismatic 'teen idol'; he started his string of solo works with a debut single, called "Speak to the Sky", that reached the top 10 in Australia. In mid-1972, he relocated to the U.S., evolving into a more strident new wave and power pop sound as the years passed.

The priest wears a black eye patch and fake Prada perfume

On His walking cane is the Holy Roman ring

He wants to blindfold You all alone in his bedroom

In the land of the blind the one eyed-man is king

C Am C Am
Hosanna closes Her eyes at Saint Peter's urging
C F | G | G |
She tapes them shut so She can't see anything

She don't know it yet, but She's no longer virgin

Here in the land of the blind, the one eyed snake is king

The cyclops in the White House understands it
C F | G | G |
Keeps everyone snow-blind from the great west wing
F Dm C
He knows Your rules don't apply here in the snake pit
Am G F | C | C |
It's a land of the blind and the one eyed-man is king

Oh, every night You pray or is it wishing?
D | F | G |
'Cause You're in no position to ask for anything

I'm guided by a warning light from heaven
C F | G | G |
Inspired by the violent Arab Spring

I'm standing here, let's do this

Throw My hat into the ring

He sentenced Me to eternity in exile
C F | G | G |
Then drew the battle lines with David's sling
F Dm C
He gave every sightless clown a nuclear missile

In the land of the blind the one eyed-man is king

C Am C Am
Oh, meet Me at Your Mama's by the parkway
C F | G | G |
And I'll free Your soul from every apron string

In the execution hood You wore on Saint's Day
Am G F | C ..
We'll join the land of the blind where the one-eyed man is king
