Turn Around

Take a step outside yourself
Then you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
You're so silly
Well it's revolting
You're not much
If you're anything
Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
Well it's revolting
You're really nowhere
You're so wasteful
So foolish
No big deal
Who said don't look back?
Don't you believe 'em
You go for that corner seat in the restaurant
Cause they're gonna try and get behind ya
Don't you let em do it
You know what I'm talkin about?
You hear me talking?
It's pretty scary
It's so revolting
Take a step outside the country
Then you turn around
Take a look at where you are
Well I'ts amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh
Take a step outside the planet
You turn around and round
Now take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary
