Eric Burdon 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

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..
