Noting how critics go from phases between modernism and retro. Pointing out how shallow and hypoctritical the practice of trend setting can be. Last verse shows the insecurity the singer feels with these convictions when he knows he doesn't know where his own sense of personality lies.

Lyrics
V1: ?Timeless? See what set the precident
?Classic? That?s what the Critic say.
Trend Setter: A Retro phase is on the way.
Sell out - To the better way of life.
PCH: Wave in the wind (swaying)
Will your flag stand with time
Or fall to the ground?
CH: You claim to be deep, I think your shallow
Your point of view flows to and fro.
The novelty of trends you follow
Fades as your wrinkles start to show.
V2: ?Bourgious? Same old thing as yesterday
?Blasé? That?s what the Critic said.
Trend Setter: A brand new craze is on the way.
Sell out - To the better way of life.
BR: But I don?t know which way to go
No I don?t know which way to go
V3: The perspective from these fences.
I can?t see where the grass is green
Both sides are lined with thistles
Both sides have poured concrete.
If I stand upon this platform
Cry out what I believe
Will they hear my indecision?
Will they see me teetering?
CH2: Cause I don?t know which way to go?.
