Some Folks is Even Whiter Than Me Lyrics

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'm talking 'bout the outside I'm talking 'bout the inside, 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 to sing my songs of change like a crooner But if we was all to live another mile uptown I think wed like to get it changed a whole lot sooner
'Cause some folks is even whiter than me Some folks is even blacker than me I got myself caught in the middle somewhere And I don't know where I want to be
I'm talking 'bout the outside Talking 'bout the inside too I'm talking 'bout the outside Talking 'bout the inside too
