Song Lyrics

There's a very peculiar way you see the world
You scan it through a pair of colored lenses
You package it neatly in your head
Choose to see it the way you want to

[Chorus]
Which doesn't reflect the way they really are
It's just a one dimensional view
As the truth unfolds the look of disbelief is in your eyes
It didn't turn out the way you thought it would

It takes a long time to really know anyone
Don't make your mind about what you think you see
You might always have some biases
Look at the facts to replace the skewed beliefs

[Chorus]
Which doesn't reflect the way they really are
Its just a one dimensional view
As the truth unfolds the look of disbelief is in your eyes
It didn't turn out the way you thought it would

Don't sell yourself a false bill of goods
Be more practical before you make your assessment
You're walking into a downward spiral
I wish you luck in trying to get out

Merle Haggard
