Blinded by science, I’m on the run
Blinded by science, where do I belong?
What’s in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I’m on the run

I worry ’bout the world that we live in
I’m worried by all the confusion
I wonder ’bout the lies I’ve been reading
I wonder where this madness is leading

Is this a road going nowhere?
Or is someone leading us somewhere?
I can’t believe we’re here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in

Blinded by science, I’m on the run
I’m not an appliance, so don’t turn me on
What’s in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I’m on the run

What’s in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I’m on the run

I worry ’bout the world that we live in
I’m worried by all the confusion
I wonder ’bout the lies I’ve been reading
I wonder where this madness is leading

Is this a road going nowhere?
Is someone leading us somewhere?
I can’t believe we’re here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in

Blinded by science, I’m on the run
I’m not an appliance, don’t turn me on
What’s in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I’m on the run

Blinded by science, I’m on the run
I’m blinded by science, on the run
