You get a lot of that now
You get a lot of that nowadays
People putting you down
Busy sucking on sour grapes

They oughta know by now
Can't they get through their heads
I am not what they think I am
They oughta know by now
Can't they get it through their heads
I am not what they think?

Even though their sights are low
I'm keeping my aim high
Let them go
Run your own show
And keep your powder dry

They say it takes all kind
But to me it seems such a waste
'cause it's the bitterest kind of wine
I don't know how they can stand it's taste

They oughta know by now
I ain't gonna jump through hoops
Just to please anyone

Even though their sights are low
I'm keeping my aim high
They don't know their eyes are closed
But mine are open wide
Yeah. Oh, yeah

They oughta know by now
I ain't gonna lose much sleep
When they'll wake up to themselves
They oughta know by now

I ain't gonna lose much sleep
When they'll wake up
When will they wake up?

Even though their sights are low
I'm keeping my aim high
Let them go
Run your own show
And keep your powder dry
