I'm seeing Red...with a capital R!

Let me tell you what you can do with those rose colored glasses
I'm seeing Red!

Life has copped an attitude
that I don't need
Got anything else to dump on me?
Bring it on...let's get it over with!

Since when is trying to do the right thing
just not good enough for you?
Give me a break
I mean, really ... I - need - a - break!

Yeah...heard it all before
Life isn't fair

But maybe it is...
maybe we do get what we give
and maybe virtue is its own reward
It just doesn't feel that way now!

So you can keep your platitudes to yourself
silver linings, lemonade, rainbows, open doors
The only inspiration I'm getting
is where they might neatly fit

I'm seeing Red!

Yeah...heard it all before
This, too, shall pass

Really?...then make it fast because I'm not sure
how much more of this I can take
And you can keep your kitchen sink
things are going down the drain fast enough

Chill out! I'm not going to stop following my heart
While I may not know exactly what I want from life
I do know the kind of person I want to be
It's just that right now...

I'm seeing Red...with a big fat capital R!
