Look at Me

from Jupiter Cafe by Thermal And A Quarter

lyrics

Look, go ahead, look at me
Black hair, brown eyes, brown man
Never mind the goatee
Oh yes, I’m from the exotic east,
The heat and the dust and the burden of the beast
The smells, the spices and the mystery
Of people just trying, just trying to be

I speak four tongues,
Hell, here we all do
And we find the space
To think in yours too

Oh yes, I’m cool and mean
And I play that rock n’ roll
I don’t use gasoline
I get around on petrol

The Empire went back and Skywalker came
But Asha still sells on forty-five fame
Then John, Paul, George and the other guy
Crossed the Universe and got real high

Don’t you see it yet?
Don’t you see it yet?

I like my toast in the morning
But you can’t take away my
Full meals by the wayside
I even like Chainese – you know the mean chow
But mama tears me down when I eat the holy cow

It’s still an odd situation
Every time I realize
That I’m foolish with pounds
When my brothers are not even penny-wise

But I’ve got my karmic law and all
I accept so much so easy
I’m a rampant intellectual
When I’m with my glass of bubbly

Don’t you see it yet?
Don’t you see it yet?
