Testo Social Studies - David Byrne
Testo della canzone Social Studies (David Byrne), tratta dall'album The Knee Plays (Nonesuch store)
I thought that if I ate the food of the area I was visiting
That I might assimilate the point of view of the people there
As if the point of view was somehow in the food
So I would make no choices myself regarding what food I ate
I would simply follow the examples of those around me
I would study menus very carefully
Making note of important differences and similarities
When shopping at the supermarket
I felt a great desire to walk off with someone else's groceries
So I could study them at length
And study their effects on me
As though if I ate their groceries
I would become that person
Until I finished their groceries
We might find ourselves going to the same places
Running into one another at the movies or in a shopping mall
Reading the same books
Watching the same TV programs
Wearing the same clothes
Travelling to the same places and taking the same pictures
Getting sick at the same time
And getting well again simultaneously
Finding ourselves attracted to the same people
Working at the same job
And making the same amount of money
Living identical lives
As long as the groceries lasted
