some Folks Is Even Whiter Than Me — текст песни (Rundgren Todd)

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
