Song Lyrics

People walking down the street
Their clothes just right their hair cut neat
Looks good to you looks good to me but it ain't we who are judging
You've got to have the right clothes, you have to have the right car
You've got to have the right look to stay in par
Cause they'll judge you up and down as if you were nothing

They can judge you by the way that you look
Though your looks don't tell them what you can do
They can judge you by the color of your skin
But it don't tell them about the person within your soul

People not as secure as they seem to see and be seen, to be a part of the scene
Lay claim to the way things have to be disguising insecurity with fashion
You've got to grab your flag and wave it high or you may find you'll be left outside
Got to scream your battle cry with pride
Confusing hype with passion

They can judge you by the way that you look
But your looks don't tell them what you can do
They can judge you by the color of your skin
But it don't tell them about the person within your soul

In the magazines, on radio & tv
They promise you the world they promise you the dream
Keeps them cashing in on our insecurities
Keeping you from reaching the person within your soul

(Shake it to the left, shake it to the right
The pendulum swings the balance ain't right
Duped to the balance of the balance you fight
So Shake it to the left and shake it to the right)

Slow down, take a look around, it's not the way they make it sound
Just billions of people rushing around and around, desperate for salvation
Well it ain't in the phrases it ain't in the hair it ain't in the latest styles you wear
Don't matter if it's happening everywhere it'll die with each generation

They can judge you by the way that you look
Though your looks don't tell them what you can do
They can judge you by the color of your skin
Yet it don't tell them about the person within your soul
