K-Rino - The Glasses lyrics

This young guy was 24 years old, maybe 25
And had been used and broken many ties
In the time he’d been alive
His heart since the beginning
Was compassionate and generous
But then it just got dark when
He saw people were so venomous
His faith was damaged
Used to believe he could save the planet
But the fake would manage always
To damage and take advantage
Of his kindness and although he now
Seen the world was fiendish
He dreamed about a means to
Screen people and distinguish
So one night as he took a walk
His stress had reached it's summit
He saw a bag that had a
Bright light emanating from it
His first response was to ignore it
And keep walking past it


Instead he grabbed and opened it up
And found a pair of glasses
Assuming someone lost ‘em
He nearly choked with surprise
‘Cause he couldn’t resist the strong urge
To place 'em over his eyes
And as other people walked by
His insight became strong
‘Cause he now could see
Through people’s hearts
Each time he had ‘em on

With these glasses, he could see inside the
Conscience of the masses
And pinpoint all the madness with exactness
What he thought would bring
Him happiness brought sadness these glasses
These glasses, he could see inside the
Conscience of the masses
And pinpoint all the madness with exactness
What he thought would bring
Him happiness brought sadness these glasses

So then he was astounded ‘cause
Now he walked around with
The ability to read hearts
By chance he finally found it
The evil and detestable
Deceitful and unethical
Were all detectable as long as
He had donned these spectacles
He found people and tried ‘em and
Every liar spiteful thought inside him
There was no disguise a fake
Smile that could hide him
And with this strange invention
Before a word is ever even mentioned
He could look at you and
Tell you your intentions
He knew who hated and
Who loved, family, friends
It mattered not who you was
Before you spoke it he knew
What the truth was
It shielded him from danger and half the
Time no person was a stranger
Those who tried him became
Victims of his anger
Now his own mind he was losing
Emotionally it moved him
Seeing collusion in the minds of loved ones
Who were out to use him
It confused him ‘cause even though
This is what he desired
The knowledge of private internal
Sheistiness made him tired

With these glasses, he could see inside the
Conscience of the masses
And pinpoint all the madness with exactness
What he thought would bring
Him happiness brought sadness these glasses
These glasses, he could see inside the
Conscience of the masses
And pinpoint all the madness with exactness
What he thought would bring
Him happiness brought sadness these glasses

Now he walked the city frantic
And those who looked like normal
Folks he glanced at
And saw that they were sick
Perverse and rancid
He felt like he was wrong
He started to take ‘em off
But he’d succumbed to a compulsive
Desire to keep ‘em on
So he freaked out on a whim and
His hope for all humanity was slim
So he started to pass judgement and condemn
And the power of the glasses overtook him
It shook him to his core so he
Decided to kill each person after lookin’
With this self-controlled delinquent
He approached an older lady
And without blinkin’
She started telling him what he was thinking
He was baffled, she grabbed him and said
"I don’t mean to scare you
But those glasses that you’re
Wearing, though they’re rare
I have a pair too but, you were disobedient
Abused the seeing power and got deviant
But me I only used ‘em when I needed it
So this privilege you’ve lost it
So even if you take ‘em off
Your view of people and their view
Of you will be distorted"

With these glasses, he could see inside the
Conscience of the masses
And pinpoint all the madness with exactness
What he thought would bring
Him happiness brought sadness these glasses
These glasses he could see inside the
Conscience of the masses
And pinpoint all the madness with exactness
What he thought would bring
Him happiness brought sadness these glasses
