"Everyday People" lyrics

"Everyday People"

In the pouring rain
Lies a man without a name
Drowning in his pain everyday
And through dead eyes he's seen
All his dreams all disappear
In the ghetto where he lives everyday

Some people pay everyday
Some people pay in different ways
Everybody pays no matter what we say, yeah
Some people pay, everybody pays
Some people pay, you pay, I pay
Everybody pays everyday, yeah

Lord only knows it's true
That for everyday people
Just like me and you
Trying to make it alright
Is the only price that we have to pay
People, oh, people everyday

Some people pay everyday
Some people pay in different ways
Everybody pays no matter what we say, yeah
Some people pay, everybody pays
Some people pay, you pay, I pay
Everybody pays in the end, yeah

Some things will never change
When you're dead and you're buried
When you're lying in your grave
Well, it'll be alright
You'll never have to pay again everyday

People, oh, people everyday
People, oh, people everyday

Lord only knows it's true
That for everyday people
Just like me and you
Trying to make it alright
Is the price we have to pay
People, yeah, people, oh
Trying to make it alright, yeah, alright
Everyday, everyday, everyday

Everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday
Ooh...
