Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong My own beliefs are in my song The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then Makes no difference what group I'm in I am everyday people, yeah yeah There is a blue one who can't accept the green one For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one And different strokes for different folks And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee Oh sha sha - we got to live together I am no better and neither are you We are the same whatever we do You love me you hate me you know me and then You can't figure out the bag l'm in I am everyday people, yeah yeah There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one And different strokes for different folks And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee Oh sha sha-we got to live together 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 And different strokes for different folks (C) 1968 by Daly city Music
Pretty, pretty, pretty as a picture Witty, witty, witty as you can be Blind, 'cause your eyes see only glitter Closed to the things that make you free. Ever stop to think about a downfall Happens at the end of every line Just when you think you pulled a fast one Happens to the foolish all the time. Somebody's watching you. Games are to be played with toys, etc. Love is to be made when you're for real Ups and downs are caused by life in general Some are yours no matter how you feel. Shady as a lady in a mustache Feelings camouflaged by groans and grins Secrets have a special way about them Moving to and fro among your friends. Somebody's watching you. Live it up today if you want to Live it down tomorrow afternoon Sunday school don't make you cool forever And neither does the silver of your spoon. The nicer the nice, the higher the price And that's what you pay for what you need The higher the price, the nicer the nice Jealous people like to see you bleed. Somebody's watching you.

Stand In the end you'll still be you One that's done all the things you set out to do Stand There's a cross for you to bear Things to go through if you're going anywhere Stand For the things you know are right It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand All the things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal Stand. stand, stand Stand. stand, stand Stand You've been sitting much too long There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong Stand There's a midget standing tall And the giant beside him about to fall Stand. stand, stand Stand. stand, stand Stand They will try to make you crawl And they know what you're saying makes sense and all Stand Don't you know that you are free Well at least in your mind if you want to be Everybody Stand, stand, stand (C) 1969 by Daly City Music
