E
 Take a step outside yourself,
E
 And turn around
E
 Take a look at who you are
E
 It's pretty scary

Chorus:
D C A
     So silly,
D C G
     It's revolting
F G C
     You're not much,
F G D                  F G C
     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

Chorus:
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock

Who said "Don't look back"?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let 'em do it
You know what I'm talkin' about?
You hear me talkin'?
You hear me talkin'?

Chorus:
D C A
    It's pretty scary,
      D    C
It's so revolting
G
It's pretty scary,
       F    G
It's so revolting
A
It's pretty scary,
      F    G
It's so revolting
D
It's pretty scary,
      F    G
It's so revolting
C
Naaah!

Take a step out of the country
Then you turn around
Take a look at what you are
Well, it's amazing

Chorus:
D C A
     Take a good look
D C G               F
     You're no big deal
G A
    You're so petty,
F G D            F G C
     It's a laugh

Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and round
Take a look at what you are
It's pretty scary
