When every choice that I make is yours
Keep telling me what’s right and what’s wrong
Don’t you ever stop to think about me?
I’m not that blind to see that you’ve been cheating on me

Every now and again I think about this song, especially during tense political climates. Sure, it’s a song about a failing relationship, but sometimes you can read lyrics different ways. Sometimes this particular lyric pops into my head whenever I hear conservatives go on about how much they know what I need. Despite never asking ahead of time for my input.

Which is why I’ve stopped listening to that party quite some time ago.

[And as an aside, I absolutely love the piano work on this track. One of my all-time favorites.]
