lyrics

Your motivational mantra comes off soundin’ like
Payday when I hear you say Hey
C’mon stand tall after you fall all in all
There’s room at the top- don’t stop – it’s OK
I got a different way to be
In all I do and all that I see
In this stand-up comic kind of world
If we sit-down but we disagree
You can look down on me (look down)
You can look down on me.

You decide to ride on pride
After you slide and you lose your stride
But you’re not that cat who’ll cut and run to hide-
And that’s OK
I looked around til I found some sound ground
And incredulously it contains a plea
I can oversee magnanimously and say-
Look down on me (look down)
You can look down on me.

All things must pass the die-cast system comin’ fast
You’ll find your place at last to be-
In the great society- and that’s OK
All I can say is “Lord, have your way” - Anyway
I’m convinced on the last day
The card in play - It’s a King on the top of the pile
In the meanwhile…
The Ace is layin’ low – so
You can look down on me.
