Time, time and again I've seen you starin' out at me
Now, then and again, I wonder what it is that you see
With those angry eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down with those angry eyes

You wanna believe that I am not the same as you
I can't concieve, oh, no, no, what it is you're tryin' to do
With those angry eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down with those angry eyes
What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me
With those angry eyes

You try to defend that you are not the one to blame
But I'm findin' it hard, my friend, when I'm in the deadly aim of those angry eyes
With those angry eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down with those angry eyes
What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me with those angry eyes

You and I both start to realize, blindness binds us together in a false disguise
Can you see me through those angry eyes?

[RicOshayed]

The rhythm of this rocks my 70 year old soul still !

[scarpia]

Wow! Age 28 in 1972 working in Atlanta (Lockheed C5A). Came to Seattle in '73 and now at age 74 still digging these guys.

[UnitedSoundVideo]

Love the hypnotic base riff. The best

[daviddragavon]

Damn Southern Rocker, are we related? As we said in the dorm when this was new: "crank her up"!! Saw them on a frozen night 🌙 in Pullman Washington. Their stage band was virtually their studio band and they were TIGHT!

[dalesmith]

Exactly what excellent brilliant back beat and blues delivers.

[samuelmahmud]

A Chicago steppers classic! What a shot you could be if you can shoot at me with those Angry Eyes

[RealJackMcNey]

Some of the instrumental breaks smack of the Rolling Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?".

[texasoutlawbl]

Time, time and again I see you staring down at me
Now, then and again I wonder what it is that you see
With those angry eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down
With those angry eyes
You want to believe that I am not the same as you
And now I can't conceive, oh lord, of what it is you're trying to do
With those angry eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down
With those angry eyes
What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me
With those angry eyes
You and I must start to realize
Blindness binds us in a false disguise
Can you see me through those angry eyes?
You try to defend that you are not the one to blame
But I'm finding it hard, my friend, when I 'm in the deadly aim
Of those angry eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down
With those angry eyes
What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me
With those angry eyes
