Relative
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A flashlight
Isn't quite sunlight
But any light at all seems bright
When you're looking in the dark
A wet Dream
Isn't the real thing
It isn't really anything
But at least it makes a spark
And all is relative, relative
Everything is relative, yes it is
CHORUS
It's all about the way we recieve it
How much we believe it
Depending on the life you lead, if you lead it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else, you care
And if you pick the threads in your closet, the cash in your wallet
The color of the skin in your blood, and how you got it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else, you care
Pre-made isn't quite home made
But pre-made with a home name
Is almost just the same
Your girlfriend
Isn't your best friend
But any friend is best when
You're freezing in the rain
And all is relative, relative
Everything is relative, yes it is
CHORUS
You're either underweight or you're unfit
Underdressed or over zipped
Too social or you're just too shy
Too depressed or you're too high
Night to day
Day to night
Rich to poor
Black or white
All is relative
Everything is relative
All is relative
CHORUS x2
All is relative
Everything is relative
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Everything is relative
All is relative
You care
