Marc Thomas - Just Walk On By Lyrics

From the top, middle, bottom, to the city projects
Theres a rarified entity the people call Respect
I hear its hard to come by
Namely from the folks with their noses in the sky
Lay back, I advise
At the end of the day all the cream will always rise
Intellectualize
But baby when you do please look me in the eyes

I politely refuse another feeble excuse about why you
cant,
when you cant,
how you cant
with me
Fabrication, alteration, hyperinflation of the ego
Its a sad situation
Please check your pride at the door
Thats what the hanger in the corridors for

Chorus

Well I dont know
What you got against me
If you dont like it you can always turn the other way
I hear a lotta talkin
But I dont think Ive ever seen you walkin
So just walk on by
Just walk on by
Just walk on by

Just in case you havent noticed
Ive got a mouth that doesnt stop and a chip on my
shoulder
I simply lack the inhibition to muzzle my opinion when
it fits so well into a song
Hey, maybe Im right
Maybe Im wrong
Turn it off or sing along
I never knew the kind of wrath I could accrue
By speaking my mind and refusing to be used
Get up, sit down, walk around, get a job, make your
daddy proud
With room to grow and room to fall
Theres room to be short without ever being small

Chorus

Well I dont know
What you got against me baby
If you dont like it you can always turn the other way
I hear a lotta talkin
But I dont think Ive ever seen you walkin
So just walk on by
Just walk on by
Just walk on by
