Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people
[Verse 2]
Then it's the blue ones who can't accept the green ones
For living with the black ones, tryna be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
So on and so on and scoobie-doobie-doobie
Ooh, sha-sha
We gotta live together (Ooh, sha-sha)
[Verse 3]
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
Don't make you hate me, you know me and then
Still can't figure out that scene I'm in
I am everyday people
[Verse 4]
Then it's the new man that doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one that will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scoobie-doobie-doobie
Ooh, sha-sha
We gotta live together (Ooh, sha-sha)
[Verse 5]
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one, that won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scoobie-doobie-doobie
Ooh, sha-sha
I am everyday people
