face to face - It's Not All About You Lyrics

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 off 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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus x2]

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 at 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

[Chorus]
