Lyrics

I was brushing my teeth
In the early morning light
When I glanced up at the mirror
With a pair of weary eyes
And it took me by surprise
It filled me with concern
The fella looking back
Man, he made my stomach turn
He said, take a long hard look
I really hope you like what you see
Now, it wasn't his haggard face
The shocked me to the core
Or that uncombed beard
Man, I'd seen all that before
There was something in his eyes
And that crooked little grin
And the way he said it
As he was whispering
Take a long hard look
I really hope you like what you see
Take a long hard look in the mirror
Take a long hard look at yourself
Take a long hard look at what's happening all around
Are you picking up your brother
Or are you knocking him down
So I splashed water on my face
I buttoned up my shirt
I finished off my coffee
And I shuffled off to work
But I couldn't shake the feeling
Could that mirror be shooting straight
Should I be taking stock
Should I investigate
Take a long hard look
I really hope you like what you see
Take a long hard look in the mirror
Take a long hard look at yourself
Take a long hard look at what's happening all around
Are you picking up your brother
Or are you knocking him down
Well, then I got to wondering
Does every mirror talk
Do they say make sure your hands are clean, man
And straighten out that walk
How about the ones down on Wall Street
Better yet, D.C.
Do they have the same effect
As my mirror had on me
Now, take a long hard look
Oh, I really hope you like what you see
Take a long hard look in the mirror
Take a long hard look at yourself
Take a long hard look at what's happening all around
Are you picking up your brother
Or are you shooting him down
