If I Was You

I'd keep an eye on those who lead

if I was you.

I'd ask them where they're taking me

if I was you.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do,

I'm only saying "If I was you."

I'd listen to that distant drum

if I was you

and wonder how the orders come

if I was you.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do,

I'm only saying "If I was you."

I'd know the colors and the cause

if I was you

before I'd step those marches off

if I was you.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do,

I'm only saying "If I was you."

I'd want to read the bottom line

if I was you

before I'd sign up for a fight

if I was you.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do,

I'm only saying "If I was you."
