Everyday People Lyrics By Sly The Family Stone

    sometimes i’m right and i can be wrong
    my own beliefs are in my song
    the butcher the banker the drummer and then
    makes no difference what group i’m in

    i am everyday people yeah yeah

    there is a blue one who can’t accept the green one
    for living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
    and different strokes for different folks
    and so on and so on and scooby dooby doobee

    refrain
    ooh sha sha
    we got to live together

    i am no better and neither are you
    we are the same whatever we do
    you love me you hate me you know me and then
    you can’t figure out the bag i’m in

    i am everyday people yeah yeah

    there is a long hair that doesn’t like the short hair
    for being such a rich one that will not help the poor one
    and different strokes for different folks
    and so on and so on and scooby dooby doobee

    refrain
    ooh sha sha
    we got to live together

    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 scooby dooby doobee

    ooh sha sha
    i am everyday people
