    If moths had eyes, would they be happier? 
    How do they know they're not dead? 
    Cavemen hunting for food 
    But not before they style the hair on their head 
    What would last longer in dinosaur times? 
    A blind man didn't stand a chance 
    Not with all them rocks about 
    I'd rather be a blind moth

Moths do have eyes - they are very important to their survival and behaviour.
