| You start in the middle and you’re doing fine
|
| But there’s just too little to keep them satisfied
|
| So you try a little harder and you try and try
|
| Long way home so you go for a ride
|
| I said everybody wants to have it made
|
| They don’t wanna do nothing but they still get paid
|
| So you ride a little further and it starts to change
|
| You think that everything is gonna be the same
|
| I said it’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| And I know you’d rather die than take the blame
|
| It’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| Yeah I swear you can’t get out of your own way
|
| Now you made your way up and you light the few
|
| But it gets a little foreign and there’s nothing to do So you look to the middle but it’s nothing new
|
| Everybody wants to be the same as you
|
| I said everything’s gonna be the same
|
| And it doesn’t matter if they ever knew your name
|
| So you better take the money and forget the fame
|
| Looking back in the middle and get out of the game
|
| I said it’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| And I know you’d rather die than take the blame
|
| It’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| Yeah I swear you can’t get out of your own way
|
| Yeah I swear you can’t get out of your own way
|
| It’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| And I know you’d rather die than take the blame
|
| It’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| Yeah I swear you can’t get out of your own way
|
| So it’s down to the bottom and there’s nothing to say
|
| I think everybody knew that it would be this way
|
| It’s the same old story and it’s such a shame
|
| So make yourself a home cause we’re here to stay
|
| I said everybody wants to have it made
|
| And they don’t wanna do nothing but they still get paid
|
| So you ride a little further and it starts to change
|
| You keep thinking that everything is gonna be the same
|
| I said it’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| And I know you’d rather die than take the blame
|
| It’s not all about you
|
| You’re so cynical and vain
|
| Yeah I swear you can’t get out of your own way |
