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 'em 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 wanna be
I'm talkin' 'bout your outside
I'm talkin' 'bout your inside, too
I'm talkin' 'bout your outside
I'm talkin' 'bout your inside
Talkin' 'bout your inside, too
I spend 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'm 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 we'd like to get it changed a whole lot sooner
Because 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 wanna be
I'm talkin' 'bout the outside
Talkin' 'bout your inside, too
Talkin' 'bout your outside
Talkin' 'bout your inside, too
