From the recording Private Message
Lyrics
EYES WIDE OPEN
They said - You better do what you’ve been told
They said - Don’t you stray from the Status Quo
They said - Follow us don’t put up a fight
They said - Trust in us cause we’ll fix it right
When I found out the truth
It was not what I was hoping
Now I’ll stare ahead with my eyes wide open
They said - That you’ll never amount to much
They said - Boy, you can look but you can’t touch
They said - You better not get out of line
They said - Trust in us it will turn out fine
When I found out the truth
It was not what I was hoping
Now I’ll stare ahead with my eyes wide open
[Solo]: Guitar
[Breakdown/Turn Around]: Key Change
They said - You better do what you’ve been told
They said - Don’t you stray from the Status Quo
They said - Follow us don’t put up a fight
They said -Trust in us cause we’ll fix it right
When I found out the truth
It was not what I was hoping
Now I’ll stare ahead with my eyes wide open
