I used to think I was a loser
And all I did was bound to fail
To be a shaker and a mover
Keep the bad guys off your tail
Everybody wanna get to the top of the heap sometime
Everybody wanna climb to the top of the hill sometime
Everybody gotta take a little piece of the heat sometime
Everybody gotta stand on their own two feet sometime
I mean you, and I mean you
I mean you, and I mean you
Believe in yourself, and nobody else
Everybody wants a shot at a lick of the cream sometime
Everybody wanna go, make a bit of a show sometime
Everybody need a chance, tap into the flow sometime
Everybody wanna trip, get a crack of the whip sometime
I mean you, and I mean you
I mean you, and I mean you
Believe in yourself, and nobody else
People with problems
People on streets
People down your way
People you meet
(Here follows a rather odd list)
