Everyday People Lyrics

[00:08.80] Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
[00:13.03] My own beliefs are in my song
[00:16.96] The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
[00:21.39] Makes no difference what group I'm in
[00:25.59] I am everyday people, yeah yeah
[00:33.91] There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
[00:37.84] For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
[00:42.14] And different strokes for different folks
[00:46.29] And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
[00:50.73] Oh sha sha we got to live together
[00:59.05] I am no better and neither are you
[01:03.22] We are the same whatever we do
[01:07.11] You love me you hate me you know me and then
[01:11.55] You can't figure out the bag I'm in
[01:15.71] I am everyday people, yeah yeah
[01:24.02] There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
[01:27.96] For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
[01:32.17] And different strokes for different folks
[01:36.33] And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
[01:40.81] Oh sha sha we got to live together
[01:49.17] There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
[01:53.08] That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
[01:57.41] And different strokes for different folks
[02:01.48] And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
[02:10.05] I am everyday people
