Black And White

The options to avoid feelings in the culture we live in now is like profound
It’s all—that's—that's what it’s demanding of you
Get lost, get a hit
Get a hit somewhere
Dodge it, dodge the pain
You gotta sit in it—you gotta sit in it for yourself and for other people
I’m talking to myself right now
We took a paper shredder to the library
We guillotined our memory, anxiety
We’re pulling down the blinds
And I might be naïve, but I want to simplify
I read a story about a boy
Arms stretched out to the sky
There were pictures
And they were black, and they were white
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
We took a paper shredder to the library
Slow down, you’re missing all the scenery
Oh, what’s the use?
Oh, what’s the use of always thinking where you’re not
Is where you need to be?
I’m so naïve, but I want to simplify
And I remember you and I
Arms stretched out to the sky
And there is proof
And it’s in black and it’s in white
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s call it love
Let’s call it love
Let’s call it love
And it’s in black and it’s in white
(Black and white)
Let’s dance (black and white)
Let’s dance (black and white)
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s call it love
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s call it love
Let’s dance in black and white (black and white)
Let’s call it love
Let’s dance (black and white)
And it’s in black and it’s in white
(Black and white)
The options to avoid feelings in the culture we live in now is like profound
It’s all—that's—that's what it’s demanding of you
Get lost, get a hit
