That Ain't Where It's At Lyrics - The Animals

if you have a look around you 

can you see a smiling face? 

all the people that surround you 

no one's laughing anyplace 

everybody's runnin scared 

of the things they haven't dared 

those who try get stoned 

and those who don't get fat 

well that ain't where it's at 

it's a brighter world outside you 

and it's time you realized 

there ain't nothin gonna hide you 

ain't no use in your disguise

your mind is where it builds 

all the things you really feel 

gving up the game will knock you flat 

but that ain't where it's at 

no no 

baby get straight 

while you got the time 

things that you hate 

they ain't worth a dime 

don't you know that bein happy ain't no crime 

hear the sound of singin' 

won't you open up your ears 

all the fire alarms are ringin 

cause we're burnin up with fears 

Photos 

if you really wana live 

it's yourself you must forgive 

don't depend on someone else 

to fit your hat 

cause that ain't where it's at 

no no 

I said that ain't where it's at 

and you know 

and it's the truth 

that ain't where it's at.
