I Change What I Want

from All Talk by Green Andy

/

lyrics

I call it like I see it and I
Make my own names for it all
Who cares what words mean in Latin when I
I don't speak Latin at all

I name a thing or a person by the
Way they act or they make me feel
I can't imagine why they insist on
A name that's not even real

It hasn't made me many friends
My mode of reference

Will my girlfriend ever forgive me
She walked right out the door
All I said was her thunderbox was
Like nothing I'd seen before

It's just a name that occurred to me when I
Was down there checking it out
But her reaction was negative and she
Ended up throwing me out

I don't see what the problem is
About my mode of reference

So mostly I sit alone by myself now
I can't offend on my own
I've worn out dozens of highlighting markers
Adjusting books in my home

The English language is filled with nonsense
Words that don't show me a thing
And in my solitude I can change them
Here in my home I am king

Just me in my residence
And my mode of reference
