There ain't a man alive today |
|
Who doesn't want to have the world in his hand |
|
And everything to go his way |
|
And abuse what he don't understand |
|
Some people never can be satisfied |
|
Less they push somebody else around |
|
But i can't give no aid or take no side |
|
I just watch them drag each other down because |
|
Some folks is even whiter than me |
|
Some folks is even blacker than me |
|
I got myself caught in the middle somewhere |
|
And that's just where i want to be |
|
I'm talking bout the outside |
|
Talking bout the inside too |
|
I spent a lot of time alone |
|
And when i'm gone you won't remember my name |
|
But i ain't never been nobody's boss but my own |
|
And i hope that you can say the same |
|
And i feel just like everyone around |
|
I like so sing my songs of change like a crooner |
|
But if we was all to live another mile uptown |
|
I think we'd like to get it changed a whole lot sooner |
