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 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
