I can see where there may be some confusion, I was once just like you Let me tell you a story to clarify the matter, once upon a time a mouse put on some shoes Hey friend, where'd you get those fancy shoes, Are you wearing them, or are they wearing you I've seen you walking down the boulevard, You must've come pretty far, you make it look real hard Those shoes, sparkle gold and blue, always seem brand new, Must've set you back a few Oh my, fancy shoes distract me, I’m in the path of a bus in the Middle of a busy street You can fix a robot, buff out the dents Strap him into a pair of fancy shoes and, flip the switch to commence But when all's said and done, are the shoes built for fun? Or to protect from broken glass or toe biters in tall grass? When everyones in red, you wear blue It's just like you to ignore simple truths Well, it doesn't matter those fancy shoes, it's all about the words you choose It doesn't matter those fancy shoes, it's all about the friends you’ll lose It doesn't matter those fancy shoes, it's all about the toes you'll lose It doesn't matter those fancy shoes, so why would, why would you? ________________________________________________________________ Steam Powered Giraffe is a musical performance act located in San Diego California.
