That's What They All Say |
| You think you’ve got a head for heights Be careful, babe, you might fall |
| You think you know all your rights But you’re at someone’s beck and call |
| You think you’ve got life on a plate But it’s harder to eat than to play |
| (CHORUS) |
| You’re in the race You’ve got a place But that’s what they all say |
| (VERSE) |
| You wanna stand in the working man’s shoes |
| And have someone step on your head |
| You wanna bruise your skin on my teeth |
| But you just bite me instead |
| You wanna come down and check out my level |
| But something stands in your way |
| (CHORUS) then (*RIFF) |
| (BRIDGE) |
| Standing in the rain You pass by, don’t even remember my name |
| But baby, baby, this ain’t no place for fame |
| And it ain’t the street, it’s the gutter you’ve got to blame |
| (VERSE) |
| Well, you think you are a real rough diamond |
| 'Cause you can stand to the test |
| You think if you got a car to climb in You will shine out the best |
| You think your jewels aren’t made out of paste |
| Believe me they’re looking that way |
| (REPEAT CHORUS) then D C# C G |
| (INSTRUMENTAL-a verse and a chorus) then |
| (REPEAT BRIDGE) |
| (VERSE) |
| You think if you got a hall of mirrors You will see every way |
| You think if you buy a piece of tomorrow Someone else has to pay |
| You think if you can pin someone down They won’t get in your way |
| (REPEAT CHORUS (twice) then |
| That’s what they all say, baby That’s what they all say |
