Perspective-Until The Ribbon Breaks&Homeboy Sandman
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Hey Bobby, why do you like...
Until The Ribbon Breaks?
Because it makes me happy.
Oh no. just woke up
with a cigarette in my tea cup
Half monkey, half man.
Big dreams, small plans.
So welcome to the Pirate Bay.
All free, no catch
No thieves round here
You could leave your door on the latch
We had a pretty good year
Let's move on to the next
There's a time for reflecting
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it, get it, get it
Oh no the road to Damascus
Is closed for repair, yeah
Life's still a ball Cinderella,
you can see it everywhere
Nobody ever really dies, no
I'm not a medicine man
I don't believe in Heaven,
I do believe in holograms.
Love, everybody needs you
It's a short life, just a preview
but there's a time for reflecting
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
And now
This is for silver-lining finding,
Shit is fine, B. Keep this in mind, and moments
that's defining, keep your calm amidst the sirens
I know that there are tyrants that are tireless,
But some don't even need mind it, it's just a minus
There are pluses in abundance, life is wondrous,
find your comfort in your moral compass.
Do not be left in the dust with all the dunces
worried that the world is crumbling.
It's always crumbling.
That's its primary basic function.
It cannot be any better, it cannot be any worse,
It can only be the way it is, that's the way it works.
That goes for everybody on the Earth
You think you worth it cuz you from the dirt
There are people from the dirt that aren't earth
It's ... to find the perks
instead of steady wallin' whining about your wallet and your purse
Life's a blessing. Everyone alive is more than blessed enough
Unless you're jealous of someone else's stuff
which of course makes you a sucker
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective
Now let's get it all in perspective




Now let's get it all in perspective
now let's get it, get it, get it
