EVERYBODY IS EVERYBODY ELSE
words and music
​copyright © 2015 by

Some people eat chicken with their fingers
Some people use a fork and a knife

Some people are sucking on a silver spoon

And never ate a chicken in their life


So people look better in the daytime

Some look better at night

          But everybody loves, everybody hurts
          Everybody has a touch of weltschmerz
          Everybody laughs, everybody sneezes
          Everybody fries and everybody freezes

       Everybody
          Everybody
          Everybody
          Is everybody else

Some people want to guarantee a freedom

Some people want to take one away

Some say “We the People,” that’s the government

And some say, “The government, they…”


Some people are walking on the left wing

Some are sliding off the right

          But everybody loves, everybody hurts
          Everybody has a touch of weltschmerz
          Everybody laughs, everybody sneezes
          Everybody fries and everybody freezes

          Everybody
          Everybody
          Everybody
          Is everybody else

And everybody everywhere

Lesser and great

Has a common denomin-

Nator


Some people look up and see the ceiling

Some people look up and see God

Some people look forward to a paradise

And some are looking forward to the sod


A lot of people looking for enlightenment

Some are just trying to find the light

          But everybody loves, everybody hurts
          Everybody has a touch of weltschmerz
          Everybody laughs, everybody sneezes
          Everybody fries and everybody freezes

          And everybody sleeps, everybody breathes
          Everybody starts with no teeth and teethes
          Everybody eats, everybody cries
          And identifies with the Good Guys

          And everybody’s bad, everybody’s good
          Everybody wants to be understood
          Everybody falls, everybody rises
          Everybody on some lever realizes

          That everybody
          Everybody
          Everybody
          ​Is everybody else
