That Ain't Where It's At

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

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

gving 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 wana 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..
