Rose Tinted views of the Past - (lost lyrics)

Hello friends,

I have decided to publish some of my lost lyrics in my blog, since they are just sitting on my screen taking up stickies, maybe someone would like to read one :)

This set was written while I was working my office job back at the beginning of the year, I doubt I will ever 'music' them up as I have covered the idea better in other lyrics since this.

Rose Tinted views of the Past – by Andy Jackson

Staring at the paper moon,

Collecting up the stars in a jar,

Dancing on an ancient wheel,

Fixing the bumpers of a futuristic car,

Rose tinted views of the past,

Human decency doesn’t last,

Mistakes take the same shapes through the ages,

To history pages the die is cast,

Listening to the audio books,

Softly spoken words of wisdom,

Printed on crumbling wood pulp,

A cheaper way to quash some freedom,

Rose tinted views of the past,

Human competency doesn’t last,

Mistakes take the same shapes through the ages,

In history pages it all goes so fast,

Heroes and Villains occupy the same coins,

How can you be special based on your origin loins,

The Kings got this sh*t sown up rather tight,

So many souls willing to die and fight,

To feed the needs of some overweight birth right…what pointless tripe

Rose tinted views of the past,

Human complacency doesn’t last,

Mistakes take the same shapes through the ages,

In history pages the lies reach is vast,

I love this tree :)
