lyrics

Everybody's got to answer to someone
Tell me which one of us is living under the thickest thumb
You proud of where you lay your head when the day is done
Do you lay awake worrying about who you bought your pillow from

You can nod your head
You can bite your tongue
You can play pretend
But are you having fun

Who's looking down, who's looking down on who
Who's looking up, who's looking up to you
Who's looking down, who's looking down on who
Who's looking up, who's looking up to you

I don't know about you
But I can't compromise
I want to eat to enjoy the taste
Not just solely to survive
See all the suits and ties in center city
They look so miserable it's such a pity
Meanwhile that sweet old man in my neighborhood
He's sipping a forty at nine AM but he's feeling real good

Cause you can nod your head
You can bite your tongue
You can play pretend
But are you having fun

Who's looking down, who's looking down on who
Who's looking up, who's looking up to you
Who's looking down, who's looking down on who
Who's looking up, who's looking up to you

Who's looking down, who's looking down on who
Who's looking up, who's looking up to you
Who's looking down, who's looking down on who
Who's looking up, who's looking up to you
