Some Folks Is Even Whiter Than Me

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
