People tell me to keep my mouth shut. When I talk they just sneers at me Their mouths are opened wide in disbelief From the frying pan to the flyer Every step I take for to The smoke beneath my feet I realize I'm not one of those No, no, no I'm not one of those I can do the best I can 'Cause I am that's what I am Can you see? Oh can't you see? Moving fast but going nowhere People bumping their arms and legs They leave a trail of sweat and in an inch Who's the good guy, and who's the bad guy Does it matter or only counts Which side that you're on I realize I'm not one of those No, no, no I'm not one of those I can do the best I can 'Cause I am that's what I am Can you see? Oh can't you see me? People taking chances All these people taking chances Try to get there while it's good All it's such a game Be happy I'm not back tonight 'Cause tomorrow I'll find out You took me for a ride All is such a shame It's just a game But all the same It's such a shame I'm not one of those No, no, no I'm not one of those I can do the best I can 'Cause I am that's what I am Can you see? Oh can't you see?
