that ain't where it's at

Lyrics

if you have a look around you, can you see a smiling face?, all the people that surround you, no one's laughing anyplace, everybody's runnin' scared, of the things they haven't dared, those who try get stoned, and those who don't get fat, well, that ain't where it's at, no no, it's a brighter world outside you, and it's time you realized, there ain't nothin' gonna hide you, ain't no use in your disguise, your mind is where it builds, all the things you really feel, giving up the game will knock you flat, but that ain't where it's at, no no, baby get straight, while you got the time, things that you hate, they ain't worth a dime, don't you know that bein' happy ain't no crime, hear the sound of singin', won't you open up your ears, all the fire alarms are ringin', 'cause we're burnin' up with fears, if you really wanna live, it's yourself you must forgive, don't depend on someone else, to fit your hat, cause that ain't where it's at, no no, i said that ain't where it's at, and you know, and it's the truth, that ain't where it's at.
