Lyrics
You Are What You Are
You are what you are
You are what you think
With a head full of rocks
You're certain to sink.
You are what you are
You are what you think
When you're acting so happy
It's rosy and pink.
I know a girl whose mind is as pure
As an alpine stream.
And if I know a girl,
She can't wait to show me
All her heavenly dreams.
I said, "Baby, come along with me,
And teach me how to live."
She said, "There is no help for me, except
To get back what I give.
You are what you are
You are what you think
With a head full of rocks
You're certain to sink.
You are what you are
You are what you think
When you're acting so happy
It's rosy and pink.
All you can see
Is all you can be
So don't be a prune
In your family tree.
You are what you are
You are what you think
Be one of the good guys
And don't be a dink.
Telling you now
To slow down pal
For the meek shall
Inherit the earth.
The rules you can bend
To get some revenge
And the six feet
Of dirt!
You are what you are
You are what you think
With a head full of rocks
You're certain to sink.
You are what you are
You are what you think
When you're acting so happy
It's rosy and pink.
All you can see
Is all you can be
So don't be a prune
In your family tree.
You are what you are
You are what you think
Be one of the good guys
And don't be a dink.
All the thoughts
That ought not be
Running through---
I don't mind.
The garbage goes in
So the garbage goes out
And at night
The teeth do grind.
You are what you are
You are what you think
With a head full of rocks
You're certain to sink.
You are what you are
You are what you think
When you're acting so happy
It's rosy and pink.
All you can see
Is all you can be
So don't be a prune
In your family tree.
You are what you are
You are what you think
Be one of the good guys
And don't be a dink.
You is what you am...
