         A
Well, I see you standing there
with your finger in the air

Everything we do,
                         Em
you wanna leave it up to you
     A
Who do you think you are?
You think you are a star?

Trying to run the town,
                        Em
always trying to put us down

Chorus:
            B
Well, you think that you're right,
you think you're out of sight
 A
Tell me something, mister,
                             Em
why you have to make us so uptight?

Well, you say you've been trying,
you know that you're lying
I think you need some grooving
Who do you think you're fooling, now?
Well, you better start changing,
your life needs rearranging
You better do some talking or
you better do some walking now

Chorus

    A
I know what you're doing
                          Em
All that you been doing wrong
   A
I don't know what you're feeling
                          Em
Oh, but you been feeling long

Well, you think that you're right
Tell me something, mister,
why you have to make us so uptight?
Oh yeah

Well, I know what you're doing
All that you been doing wrong
I don't know what you're feeling
Oh, but you been feeling long

Chorus:
Well, you think that you're right
Oh, tell me something, mister,
why you have to put us so uptight?
