Attica Blues - Look at yourself lyrics

You're a big fish in a small pond

Everyone knows your name, so you claim

Out for fortune and for the fame,

Though you play your life like it's just a game

I'd rather be fabulous than famous

Live my life steady than nervous

Always looking over my shoulder

Never knowing what's coming round the corner

Look at yourself

Look at yourself

You're the flyest in the neighbourhood,

But I wonder if we'd all be like you if we could

The flashest cars,

The sovereign rings,

Champagne worlds filled with material things

Peddling plastic dreams

A way of life far removed from reality

But nothing lasts for long,

And you can't take it with you when you're gone

Look at yourself

Look at yourself

I'd rather be fabulous than famous

Live my life steady than nervous

Always looking over my shoulder

Never knowing what's coming round the corner

Look at yourself

Look at yourself
