Perfection's an illusion of distance
Knowing you I'd say no closer than that
From where you are I can still feel importance
Oh, I know it's just an accident
Importance is subject to perspective so it's no wonder your concern is your tail
Can't hear me now, but when you decide to you'll find my note when you come up for air
Oh you were right and I was wrong
I was as weak as you were strong
I can't stand, watch or stay put. I can't do what they say or say what I should
The more you see the less you will suffer
While the less you see the more you’ll feast on your own
Our blindness brother butters utter delusion as we cover our eyes to swallow it whole
Oh you were right and I was wrong
I was as weak as you were strong
I can't stand, watch or stay put. I can't do what they say or say what I should
I should've know it all along, upon deaf ears lands my swan song
Who’s wrong? Who’s right? It never shows
The blame and shame unclaimed in this status quo
As usual no one's naming names
Go on deny your games
Go on claim your glove won’t fit
You're so empty, so full of it
Oh you were right and I was wrong
I was as weak as you were strong
Who’s wrong? Who’s right? It never shows
The blame and shame unclaimed in this status quo
As usual it’s quite clear to see things are as white for you as they’re black for me

Behind The Song...
Status Quo
I wrote this song many years ago in my youthful exuberance and thirst for justice. After sharing the song with a bandmate, I received a less than glowing critic so I tossed the song on the pile and let it sit. It is interesting that I did toss the song aside because I have always liked the song. As I was gathering songs for the “Wishful Thinking” EP this song raised it’s hand and indicated it should be included.
