Thats Just What You Are Lyrics

    (one two)


    In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye
    No guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbye
    And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move
    When i wonder what could make the needle jump the groove
    I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book
    So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
    By saying there is no use changing 'cause


    That's just what you are
    That's just what you are

    Acting steady always ready to defend your fears
    What's the matter with the truth, did i offend your ears
    By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try
    Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy
    It's not like you would lose some critical piece
    If somehow you moved point a to point b
    Maintaining there is no point changing 'cause


    That's just what you are
    That's just what you are

    Now i could talk to you till i'm blue in the face
    But we still would arrive at the very same place
    With you running around and me out of the race


    -very cool keyboard (mellotron?) solo-


    So maybe you're right, nobody can take
    Something older than time and hope you could make
    It better, that would be a mistake
    So take it just so far


    'cause that's just what you are
    That's just what you are
    That's just what you are

    Acting steady always ready to defend your fears
    What's the matter with the truth, did i offend your ears
    You're like a sleepwalking man, it's a danger to wake you
    Even when it is apparent where your actions will take you


    That's just what you are
    And that's just what you are
    That's just what you are
    That's just what you are
