Everybody Lyrics by Stanley Michael

0

Stanley Michael
Volume 4: 1994 to Present
Everybody
From "Coming Up For Air", 1996, Intersound Music Inc
We got madmen on the left side...
Madmen on the right
We got drugs that weren't here yesterday
And drive-by's in the light
We got schools that look like prisons
--children packing guns...
And politicians on parole and
Back again to run...
And it's us against them...
And them against us
It's getting kind of crowded
In the back of the bus
You take your dirty little hatred and
Find something to feed it
But the writing's on the walls and
I think it's time read it...

(CHORUS:)
And everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
--everybody
Everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
--everybody
...Hey!
--everybody...doing what they want...
It seems a matter of convenience, not a
Matter of respect
Where'd you lose your conscience?--
Guess it just got up and went...
And you want too much of everything and
Never get your fill
We're living in a time when
Loving it can kill...
Might be a question of ego--
Too much or not enough
And just another story 'bout
A childhood that's rough...
You sell your tail to the TV...
Star for just a day...
Don't you worry--they won't
Let the facts get in the way...

(CHORUS TWICE)
Hey, hey, hey, hey...everybody
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah...doin' what they want
Hey, hey, hey, hey...everybody, everybody
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah...
Well, you think somebody owes you but
I swear to God they don't...
You act like someone chose you but
You know they probably won't...
Better get your reservation--
Get in on the end...
Here's the situation--buy a
Dog, you want a friend...

(CHORUS TWICE)
Hey, hey, hey, hey...everybody
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah...doin' what they want
Hey, hey, hey, hey...everybody, everybody
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah...
