I cant remember who i am
I cant remember where ive been
and i dont know what certains me so
its information that i dont wanna know
while cancer, aids, and racists tear this world apart
i seem more concerned with goin bald and my broken heart

ive been lookin at life through rose colored glasses
while everything passes
and time marches by
dont you look at your life through rose colored glasses
or youll meet the masses
with tears in your eyes

listen to me
yes you will now
and the world stops

i cant remember her voice her face
i cant remember her touch her taste
everybody wants to save the world
while i sit around and wonder who's sleepin with her
and they say homelessness and hunger happens everyday
im preoccupied with losin bride and wastin away

yes ive been lookin at life through rose colored glasses
while everything passes
and time marches by
you cant look at your life through rose colored glasses
or youll meet the masses with
tears in your eyes

yes you will now

(more than anything else weve gotta learn to love, in america the white man must love the black man, the black man must love the white man, because we are all tied together)
-martin luther king jr

ive been lookin at life through rose colored glasses
while everything passes
and time marches by
you better not look at your life through rose colored glasses
or youll meet the masses
with tears in your eyes

ive been lookin at life, yeah
ive been lookin at life
ive been lookin at life
ive been lookin at life

i cant remember why im here
and i dont know if i can
i guess i aint got it so bad
am i too smart to be happy too dumb to be sad
