That's What They All Say Lyrics - Graham Parker

You think you've got a head for heights Be careful, babe, you might fall 

You think you know all your rights But you're at someone's beck and call 

You think you've got life on a plate But it's harder to eat than to play 

You're in the race You've got a place But that's what they all say 

You wanna stand in the working man's shoes 

And have someone step on your head 

You wanna bruise your skin on my teeth 

But you just bite me instead 

You wanna come down and check out my level 

But something stands in your way

You're in the race You've got a place But that's what they all say 

Standing in the rain You pass by, don't even remember my name 

But baby, baby, this ain't no place for fame 

And it ain't the street, it's the gutter you've got to blame 

Well, you think you are a real rough diamond 

'Cause you can stand to the test 

You think if you got a car to climb in You will shine out the best 

You think your jewels aren't made out of paste 

Believe me they're looking that way 

You're in the race You've got a place But that's what they all say 

Photos 

You think if you got a hall of mirrors You will see every way 

You think if you buy a piece of tomorrow Someone else has to pay 

You think if you can pin someone down They won't get in your way 

You're in the race You've got a place But that's what they all say 

You're in the race You've got a place But that's what they all say 

That's what they all say, baby That's what they all say
