Language Arts - White Socks in Birkenstocks Lyrics
Did you even know?What that smirk on the sidewalk saidThen you pretend the change in your pocketWas a sock filled headYou grow your own organicsFor your sisters kidsConstantly climbing the tea treeYou'll have on display at ChristmasDo you have a spiritual leader?Do you even know what that tattoo means?Covered in Chinese cursiveFrom your ankles to your kneesYou're giving therapyBut what you tell they don't know at allWho knew you invested the moneyInto thickening the wallAnd then you have to think, "Let's face itYou don't know what you've got,Just bring it back to the basics likeWhite socks in Birkenstocks."So she says that she loves himBut she doesn't like what he boughtHis hair's too long, his arms are too shortAnd he smokes too much potWe all know what the right thing to do isNo need to ask a pharmacistSet the table and prepare yourselfA complete and nutritious breakfastAnd then you have to think, "Let's face itYou don't know what you've got,Just bring it back to the basics likeWhite socks in Birkenstocks."When I am looking down at all of thisWhat of it really matters?Call me an anthropologistQuestioning our cultures' patterns
