It don't know need that I've been looking through glass 
That was painted to deform what was really going on
Slowly but surely I started to feel that what I held to be through in stead a cheating  call
At first it seemed bizarre it moved passed my eyes
Just conventions waiting for transentional
But if only you could first conceive do it so
Any convention could become a new diamond
Wisdom and desire are quarterly pair
Trying to ?? keep mind over matter
The serpent in the grass is a real ??
I wander as I'm looking at the world through painted glass
Looking at the world through painted glass
I'm only looking
I'm looking through painted glass
Looking at the world through painted glass
I'm only looking
?? through those old world values I'm trying to breach
Some bright ideas have start to dwindle with my own
Trying to get a sense of what was way out of reach
Investigating what I see and what I don't
How it took me some time to realize that very little is what it seems
And when you dig a little deeper in the ways of the world
Every action is part of a scheme
Believe none of what you hear
And only half of what you see
The serpent in the grass is a real ??
I wander as I'm looking at the world through painted glass
Looking at the world through painted glass
I'm only looking
I'm looking through painted glass
Looking at the world through painted glass
I'm only looking
The story of Columbus
Through painted glass
Even the one of Jesus Christ
Through painted glass
You've got the world you wanted to
Through painted glass
Through Chicago Boys in Chile
Through painted glass
United Fruit Company
Through painted glass
Nine Eleven in Iraq
Through painted glass
You got that African motivation
Through painted glass
You've got your Wall Street nation
You got to ??
Through painted glass
The chickens of Alabama
Through painted glass
The sinking of the Lusitania
The CIA and FBI
Through painted glass
You got the ??
Through painted glass
Your political Valhalla
Through painted glass
You're looking deep into the future through painted glass
