Song #1

This is Cheap Sunglasses by RAC. This song talks a lot about the mold everyone is expected to fit in. Some wear it well and others don't. The singer talks about how it's better to be yourself than it is to be fake. In Walden, Emerson questions this saying, "Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises?" The chorus of the song says, "Your limousines get stuck in traffic, and we all know you're made of plastic and you may seem like something classic but you're cheap sunglasses and we see right through you."  It's better to decide who you are and rock it than to waste your life away going along with what people tell you you should be.
