Retro-specs

When I put these specs on

I feel a song come on

And it goes something like this

 

I

Got my Retro-specs

Make things look different

Remember paying my rent

Now I'm livin' in a tent

What

 

I

Got my retro specs

Make things look different

Used to fear being insignificant

Now I am Indifferent

 

What world is the one I live in

No It's not the one with the Goblin

It's the world with the things that are misconceptions

they make real sense in reflection

It's the world full of imperfection

No exceptions only perception

The only way to be effective

Is get a new perspective

 

I

Got my Retro-specs

Make things look different

Remember paying my rent

Now I'm livin' in a tent

What

 

I

Got my retro specs

Make things look different

Used to fear being insignificant

Now I am Indifferent

 

Living looking forwards never looking back

Maybe if you turned you would see the impact

of that cat or that backpack

that made you who you are back then

Find the meaning in your past

you may just find your self at last

Find the impasse where you made that decision

that changed your life

Was it midlife, nightlife, or a butcher knife

The only place where you can find yourself is within yourself

Find the memories on your shelf

To really understand oneself

You don't need a Nobel

You just gotta look to the past

To the days of AOL

Let me send a message to your cell

It'll say one word:

 

Ready, send -
