I need perspective, 'cos I'm facing the wall.
I need perspective, 'cos I'm not that tall.
I need perspective, heard the trumpet call.
Don't trust my eyes, want to know where things fall.
I need perspective, party time for the newly wed.
I need perspective, colors ran as the images bled.
I need perspective, like confetti on the flower bed.
Don't trust my eyes, priest crying he's got fire in his head.
Oh Gaia, if that's your name,
Treat you like dirt, but I don't want to blame.
Oh Gaia, the wind heals the fire and blows the ash away.
I need perspective, sitting in a long, long hall.
I need perspective, staring at the white, white wall.
I need perspective, waiting for the phone to call.
Don't trust my eyes, there's one thing I've got to tell you all.
I need perspective, to see through red, red skies.
I need perspective, to carry merchandise.
I need perspective, I don't trust my eyes.
I used to be an industrial giant,
Sitting in a garden full of chemical plants.
Trying very hard to get you off my mind.
Acting like any man, taking you for all I can,
Just the same, the same as all my kind, so blind.

Today, hasn't been the greatest day
Want to crawl back into bed
and sleep the day away.
You came over, and dragged me out the door
Now the choir's singing and the preacher's preaching
It's all in the hands of the Lord
I'll find the sunrise in the dark skies warmth in fiery trails
Drown in Your endless sea of love
So I can walk on water of hard times
Just keeping perspective
My new car broke down, just the other day
They sold me a lemon
Good thing I like my lemonade.
My glass was half empty
But now I see it full
It's when I'm stranded and empty handed

Am I the the fool
For holding in
All these words
And their value
Taken to heart
Lessons learned
I always felt
It was sacred
Understand our directions face separate ways
You just be the critic and I'll set the example by setting
My rules
Stuck between
Expectations
That I set
And the set backs
In this perspective
I can see
I was given
A chance to speak up

Take a look at everything we've done
Because I feel a sense of pride
All the bridges built and the bonds we've made
Will last our lives because they're built on trust
And as the years go by, I see what we've built
Pass all expectations that we've ever set
And growing stronger
I know the road is hard, but all the things we gain
Make the struggle worth the cost
And through it all I can't understand
How so many have lost sight
But with past mistakes and all the damages done
I know how hard it is just to carry on
So it's time we leave those regrets behind
Holding on no matter what the cost
It's not all we have, but it's all we want
White knuckles, clenched fists, we'll make the best of this
And we'll leave those regrets behind
I don't quit and you don't quit, that's just the way it has to be
We're going to watch all the bonds we've built
Growing stronger

Day by day we have our little problems
Don't think about it
There's no time to look behind
It could be so easy
Take a step aside to see the difference
If you really dare to
The problem that you have's a different kind
Knowing where to go is not so easy
But you have to focus
Taking time to look is sometimes hard
You just have to want to
Looking for the reason why you stay here
It's a change of perspective
Seems like playing with a deck of cards
Misunderstanding - starts shouting
Love and devotion - for sad things
Fear and confusion - is religion
World domination - for nothing
Communication - is ending
All in one nation - an illusion
Negotiation - is worthless

[Sipos, spoken]
I'm an idiot. But at least I'm an idiot with a job.
(sung)
Call me fool,
That's alright with me.
Here's my rule,
Never disagree.
Where's my pride?
Swallowed long ago.
Deep inside,
Where it doesn't show.
Bowing, scraping, nodding, beaming
Always humble
Not an ounce of self respect.
Yes sir, yes sir, you're so right sir
Black is white sir
'Scuse me while I genuflect.
How do I remain so calm and cheerful?
How do I retain my piece of mind?
Let me just explain my rationale
It's all in your perspective.
Listen! Listen!
To an old Hungarian's philosophy.
(singing dialogue)
I am only one of
several in a rather small parfumerie.
Which is only one of several in this city.
Which is one of many cities in this country which
Is only one
Of many countries
Which are on this continent
Which is only one of seven on this not so special planet
Which is one of several in our solar system
Which is only one of many solar systems
In this vast, and inconievable affair, that is the universe
Sooooooo
In this infinite, incomprehensible scheme
If a dot called Maraczek should scream
At a speck called Sipos
What on Earth does it matter?
Sooooo
(regular singing)
Call me fool,
That's alright with me.
Here's my rule,
Never disagree.
Where's my pride?
Swallowed long ago.
Deep inside,
Where it doesn't show.
Just maintain a true perspective
And it's easy to avoid a clash of wills
Just maintain a true perspective.
And make sure you're well supplied with stomach pills.
Let me put it bluntly,
I'm a coward.
With a wife and children to support.
Actually my creed is sort and simple
Five essential words Georg:
Do not
Lose
Your job!
