Eric Burdon & The Animals - 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 It's only your imagination 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 She wanders down the hallway 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 No man alive can say 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 Stars in the window like a panoply 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 The night is still 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 Seeking the forgiveness 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 The ghost of charlotte corday 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..
