[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
A butcher, a banker, drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
[Chorus]
I am everyday people, oh yeah
[Bridge]
There is a blue one that can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
So on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby, ooh, sha-sha
We got to live together (Ooh, sha-sha)
[Verse 2]
I am no better, neither are you
We are the same, whatever we do
Love me, hate me, know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in
[Chorus]
I am everyday people, oh yeah
[Bridge]
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
Different strokes for different folks
So on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby, ooh, sha-sha
We got to live together (Ooh, sha-sha)
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
So on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby, ooh, sha-sha
[Outro]
I am everyday people
