What You See Lyrics
What you see
Is what you get
Don't relax
You're not home yet
What you see
Is what you get
Don't relax
You're not home yet
Put your life into my hands
Look around; you'll understand
Put your life into my hands
It's the '80s, idiot! (idiot, idiot)
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
It's the '80s, little fool! (little fool, little fool)
Don't forget the golden rule...
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
What the hell did you expect!? (you expect, you expect)
Pretty red roses?
Wet puppy noses?
Men with rubber hoses is more like it!
What you see
Is not always what you get
A lesson we must not forget
One never knows what to expect
So close your eyes and what you get
Is what you see and what you get
Open up your eyes and look around
Then close them tight and kiss the ground
You better be thankful you're alive
And how much longer can you survive
Underneath the mask there's something brewing
Underneath the ground there's something moving
It's the '80s, idiot! (idiot, idiot)
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
It's the '80s, little fool! (little fool, little fool)
Don't forget the golden rule...
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
What the hell did you expect!? (you expect, you expect)
Pretty red roses?
Wet puppy noses?
Men with rubber hoses is more like it!
Patrolling the street with all of their friends!
Bashing you around, trying to make you like them!
What you see is what you get!
Is what you get
Don't relax
You're not home yet
Is what you get
Don't relax
You're not home yet
Look around; you'll understand
Put your life into my hands
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
It's the '80s, little fool! (little fool, little fool)
Don't forget the golden rule...
What the hell did you expect!? (you expect, you expect)
Wet puppy noses?
Men with rubber hoses is more like it!
Is not always what you get
A lesson we must not forget
One never knows what to expect
So close your eyes and what you get
Is what you see and what you get
Then close them tight and kiss the ground
You better be thankful you're alive
And how much longer can you survive
Underneath the mask there's something brewing
Underneath the ground there's something moving
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
It's the '80s, little fool! (little fool, little fool)
Don't forget the golden rule...
What the hell did you expect!? (you expect, you expect)
Wet puppy noses?
Men with rubber hoses is more like it!
Bashing you around, trying to make you like them!
What you see is what you get!

One of my favorites because he sings it gorgeously! I heart you Danny E!
Close them tight and kiss the grou-ow-wound!
Pure genius, as is the entire album.
Seems to be about the superficiality of the '80s "me generation." What you see is what you get because there's nothing under the surface. Everyone is superficial. This is no longer the decade of flower children and pretty red roses, but the age of greed.
