Eric Burdon No Self Pity Lyrics

Electric light shines bright But against the sun it is dim Jet airplanes sure travel fast, But how fast is the speed of light? And no matter how low you are There is always somebody lower And no matter how slow you are There is always somebody slower

Modern day structures are fantastic But have you seen a butterfly's wings? Man has created symphony But have you heard a blackbird sing? And no matter how dumb you are, There is always somebody dumber And no matter how fine you are There is always somebody finer

I am blind, I am blind, But I see behind my eyes

Man can make sweet red wine
But have you tasted a mountain stream Hollywood has created movies But listen to the color of your dreams And no matter how ugly you are There is no such thing as ugly And no matter how bad you are There is always someone to forgive you And no matter how fine you are There is always somebody finer And no matter how low you are There is always somebody lower And no matter how fast you are, There is always somebody faster Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, and faster, and faster And slower, and lower, and finer, and finer, and slower, and faster, and lower
