Sour Grapes - Hoodoo Gurus

You get a lot of that now

You get a lot of that nowadays

People putting you down

Busy sucking on sour grapes

They oughta know by now

Can’t they get through their heads

I am not what they think I am

They oughta know by now

Can’t they get it through their heads

I am not what they think?

Even though their sights are low

I’m keeping my aim high

Let them go

Run your own show

And keep your powder dry

They say it takes all kind

But to me it seems such a waste

'cos it’s the bitterest kind of wine

I don’t know how they can stand it’s taste

They oughta know by now

I ain’t gonna jump through hoops

Just to please anyone

Even though their sights are low

I’m keeping my aim high

They don’t know their eyes are closed

But mine are open wide

Yeah.

Oh, yeah

They oughta know by now

I ain’t gonna lose much sleep

When they’ll wake up to themselves

They oughta know by now

I ain’t gonna lose much sleep

When they’ll wake up

When will they wake up?

Even though their sights are low

I’m keeping my aim high

Let them go

Run your own show

And keep your powder dry
