Well the sepia pictures that you put on your wall
Are the reason why I have disdain for you all
You look backwards and side to side
You didn’t earn that tint, you didn’t live that life
You gotta live that life there honey
The cookie only comes after feeling crummy
Well your grannies’ pictures they're in black and white (You're headed for a letdown)
But in her color days color meant a fight
You go “oooh” it seems so warm
Under the radiant glare of an atom bomb
You see the past wasn’t rosy honey
It had its Rosenbergs and war drum dummies
You’ve gone and lost your filter
You’re never hard to reach
You’re tripping out over brunches and Rockaway beach
When I look back deep and I think real hard
I remember GCT without machine gunned guards
I’ll tell the youngins’ it’s strange but true
I used to ride on planes and I would wear my shoes
But until digital gets fuzzy there’ll be no sepia
The liar’s dummy
