Kristi Allen's video: Renaissance Man Kristi Allen original music

A song about reflecting on how much time I've wasted on trying to be a pretty girl instead of doing more important things with my time...Being a woman in mass marketed over sexed America can fry young women's brain cells and make them insecure mush by the time they turn forty.....Its terrible that we allow ourselves to buy into all that crap...I want to be a Renaissance Man~:0) I've wasted too much time of this life Being a woman Putting on make up and doing up my hair Squeezing my feet into torture devices To stretch my legs to look longer in what I wear. wasted afternoons picking out the perfect outfit That slims my waist and puts my breasts out in the air Lipstick shades, and colors of eye shadows Are a science of mine, but who the hell really cares? I want to be a Renaissance man Fix motorcycles with grease all over my hands Work the wood, tend the land Aint nothing I can't do, if I think I can I want to be a Renaissance man If I could take it all back I think I would Never fall into the trap Of trying to look good. I'd chuck the beauty magazines that I studied as a teen For an encyclopedic knowledge of everything. I want to be a Renaissance man Fix motorcycles with grease all over my hands Work the wood, tend the land Aint nothing I can't do if I think I can I want to be a Renaissance man Eureka- it hit me just the other day Of the time Ive spent The money I could have saved If my cabinets weren't filled with a hundred magic potions Designed to keep me searching for youth's eternal ocean Cause When the wrinkles come I think I'm gonna cry I wish I could look distinquished in my own damn eyes. I want to be a Renaissance man Fix motorcycles with grease all over my hands Work the wood, tend the land Play my banjo like Earl Scruggs can I want to be a Renaissance man I think I'd have more brain cells left to spare If I hadn't put all those Chemicals in my hair, Wish I had the guts to throw that stuff away And spend the rest of my life doing things that make me great. And spend the rest of my life building things that I can make. Spend the rest of my life away from my bathroom sink. I want to be a Renaissance man Fix motorcycles with grease all over my hands Work the wood, tend the land Aint nothing I can't do if I think I can I want to be a Renaissance man
