Everyday People (Impeach Dick Cheney)
Everyday People
by Sly & the Family Stone


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
Oh sha sha-

I am everyday people.

my best friends have short hair. I'm not sure I'd want my daughter to marry a short-haired man, thought." -- John Lennon; The Beatles Tapes; David Wigg Interviews; 1969.

6. There is a bald one
Who's smearing the honest one
For calling out the lying one
Who sent off the dying ones...

7. Nice!
Who's cooler than Sly Stone? Maybe H2O Man, but not many others.

9. I saw your title. My first thought was Sly.
That is one of my favorite albums.


You can make it if you tryhy.



Sometimes it makes me happy to think back on the simple life I was living back then. Ideals that I was sure would soon come to fruition. Not knowing the dark powers that were undermining our roots.


You might like this. It's perhaps a bit over the top.

10. K*R Music to my ears...

The man needs a break; lets give him one real soon.

He doesn't need to worry about his patrons this much.

He fought the good fight and he showed he has guts.
Hell, he's ready to end the world for a few more
profitable quarters.

Time to go and go now!!!!!!!!!!!
