Can you crawl out of the darkness Of that dungeon where you're hangin'? Can you dismantle the cross you've had to bear? Can you prize the lid right open On all that fancy footwork And set fire to the shoes you've had to wear? Well, just because the mud's there Doesn't mean you have to wallow Doesn't mean you have to be hollow in the head And just because your mouth's full Doesn't mean you have to swallow Doesn't mean you have to believe what you just said You should see yourself, baby you lack vision You should see yourself, get a pair of eyes You should see yourself, go to your optician You should see yourself through that framework of lies See yourself, you should see yourself Can you find that little dictator That's living in your basement? Can you stage a coup to take that idiot out? Can you organize your senses As if they were an army And march them off to, off that little lout? Well, just because you're English Doesn't mean you have to be narrow Doesn't mean you have to be shallow and uptight And just because you're pale It doesn't mean you have to be callow Doesn't mean you have to believe you're always right You should see yourself , baby you lack vision You should see yourself through the eyes of the world You should see yourself, your clockwork ambition You should see yourself, or would you rather go blind? See yourself, yeah, see yourself Can you take this little megaphone And push it in your eardrum? Can you try to listen very carefully? Can you stare up at that wall chart And look at those red letters? Can you try to read them through from A to Z? Well, just because it's funny Doesn't mean you have to be foolish Doesn't mean you have to wish you ruled this world And just because it's sunny Doesn't mean you have to blot the sun out Doesn't mean your lips always have to curl You should see yourself, baby you lack vision You should see yourself, get a pair of eyes You should see yourself, go to your optician You should see yourself through that framework of lies You should see yourself, everybody else can You should see yourself, it's not a pretty sight You should see yourself through those crocodile tear glands You should see yourself, or would you rather go blind? See yourself, you should see yourself, yeah
