Prime Lens

If you’re a carpenter, You can fix it with a hammer and nail If you’re a captain, You can get there with a crew and a sail If you’re the warden, You can lock it up inside of a jail Everybody got a solution Nobody possibly wrong I’d love to jump to a conclusion But the distance is too damn long If you’re an analyst, You can lay it down on your couch If you’re an activist, You need only march and shout If you’re an anarchist, Go on and burn the city down Everybody got a solution... Biased perspectives -- Hidden objectives -- Static images in a prime lens Our various stances Across the same plane Decide how each ray of light bends If you’re a scientist, You can theorize and postulate; If a Creationist, We been kicked outta the garden by fate A sado-masochist? Should be no problem keeping a date I’m no romanticist -- I’m too old to stay up this late Everybody see the solution Nobody possibly wrong I’d love to jump to a conclusion But the distance is too damn long
