razor wires and iron bars
or three hots and a cot
the glass half full or empty
desert waste or tourist spot
is this a cubic zirconia
or a pretty diamond ring?
i suppose it all depends
(on) how you look at these things
faith to move a mountain
or a zealots wishful thinkin'
a connoisseur of the finest wines
or just another drunkard drinkin'
one more dirty whistle blower
or a conscience coming clean
i suppose it all depends
how you look at these things
well they took away dear Jesus
and they hung him on a cross
some say he won in the end
and some say he lost
and the devils love fire
and the angels love wings
i suppose it all depends
how you look at these things
one mans old garbage
can be a poor man's steak
one man's misfortune
is another man's break
and some men's worst nightmares
are anothers best dreams
i suppose it all depends
on how you look at these things
some got the patience of job
some moods are pendulum swings
i suppose it all depends
on how you look at these things
some say more is best
some say less is more
some say death is a doornail
some say death is a door
and that it's all just beginning
when the fat lady sings
i suppose it all depends
i suppose it all depends
i suppose it all depends
how you look at these things..
