See yourself

Graham parker
Can you crawl out of the darkness of that dungeon where youre hangin
Can you dismantle the cross youve had to bear
Can you prize the lid right open on all that fancy footwork
And set fire to the shoes youve had to wear
Just because the muds there doesnt mean you have to wallow
Doesnt mean you have to be hollow in the head
And just because your mouths full doesnt mean you have to swallow
Doesnt mean you have to believe what you just said

Chorus
You should see yourself baby you lack vision
You should see yourself get a pair of eyes
You should see yourself go to your optician
You should see yourself through that framework of lies
See yourself see yourself

Can you find that little dictator thats living in your basement
Can you stage a coup to take that idiot out
Can you organise your senses as if they were an army
And march them off to off that little lout
Just because youre english doesnt mean you have to be narrow
Doesnt mean you have to be shallow and uptight
Just because youre pale it doesnt mean you have to be callow
Doesnt mean you have to believe youre always right

Chorus
You should see yourself baby you lack vision
You should see yourself through the eyes of the world
You should see yourself and your clockwork ambition
You should see yourself or would you rather go blind
See yourself see yourself

Can you take this little megaphone and push it in your eardrum
Can you try to listen very carefully
Can you stare up at that wall chart and look at those red letters
Can you try to read them through from a to z
Just because its funny doesnt mean you have to be foolish
Doesnt mean you have to wish you ruled this world
And just because its sunny
Doesnt mean you have to blot the sun out
Doesnt mean your lips always have to curl

Repeat 1st chorus

Chorus
You should see yourself everybody else can
You should see yourself its not a pretty sight
You should see yourself through those crocodile tear glands
You should see yourself or would you rather go blind
See yourself see yourself
