I've always wondered what this lyric meant and where it came from. Is it a common phrase? What does it mean? Is it quoting someone? I've searched for it but found nothing.

"It's this guy beating up his girlfriend about her searching for answers and just telling her to look around. It's like science fiction gospel. Edge is calling it country hip-hop."
Taking that into consideration, to me the song has always been the sort of "ranting" of a guy berating his girlfriend for having faith and beliefs, because he's lost his faith. In that interpretation, the line in question is a play on words accusing the religious leaders she's following after as "the blind leading the blonde" with the girlfriend being the blonde.
