Lletres: Todd Rundgren. 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'm talking 'bout the outside
I'm talking 'bout the inside, 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 to sing my songs of change like a crooner
But if we was all to live another mile uptown
I think wed like to get it changed a whole lot sooner

'Cause some folks is even whiter than me
Some folks is even blacker than me
I got myself caught in the middle somewhere
And I don't know where I want to be

I'm talking 'bout the outside
Talking 'bout the inside too
I'm talking 'bout the outside
Talking 'bout the inside too
