Everyman (Joe Claussell 12" Disco Mix)

It's on you, pick and choose where you want to go in life

No one said that the road would be paved all smooth and nice

If you wanna be a lawyer or just lay around all day

Don't be jealous of the fellas who want to go all the way

After all, you're only sellin' nobody but yourself

In the end, you have to answer to yourself and no one else

Singin' every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Every man has a cross only he has to bear

If he's lost, that's the cost for not plannin' way ahead

We were all born with the tools, so let's put them all to use

One day we may all have problems, but complainin' just won't solve them

One day, we could be on top, and the next day you could drop

So no matter what you do, all the weight is left on you

Singin' every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Singin' every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Ohh, after all, you're only sellin' nobody but yourself

In the end, you have to answer to yourself and no one else

Singin' every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Singin' every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Every man has to carry his own weight

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Friend of mine

He said he had to bear his own weight, y'all

Now my brother, my brother, my brother

My brother was down and out

He said, "Can you help me?

Can you take, can you, can you take, take

Take the load?"

I said, "Nah, every man got to make his own stand, yes, he does"
