Lyrics
Gharbzadegi
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.
It's so easy to decide on a name
It's a name caller's game
It's so easy to look down
From above, helicopter vision
Get the picture when
You're outside the frame
Retrospective, my eye
Call it art and you can say what you like
It's a name caller's game
Your perspective describes
Where I stand out of line, out of mind
Calling myopia 'focus'
Of course, makes it easier still
Gharbzadegi means nothing to me
Westernitis to you
We get so out of touch
Words take the place of meaning
