Where Have All The Average People Gone
The people in this city call me countryBecause of how I walk and talk and smileWell, I don't mind them laughing in the cityBut the country folks all say I'm citifiedThe fighting men they say that I'm a cowardBecause I never push no one aroundGentle people call me trouble maker'Cause I'll always fight and stand my groundFunny I don't fitWhere have all the average people gone?Some pious people point and call me sinnerBecause to them I've never seen the lightsOther folks think of me as a preacherI'm just doing what I think is rightThe wealthy people think that I am a hoboLean and hungry, writing mournful songsAnd the poor, poor people think I am a rich manBut really, I'm just trying to get alongYes, it's funny I don't fitTell me where have all the average people gone?SongtexteAnd the government has given me a numberTo simplify my birth and life and deathAnd still my woman thinks I'm awful importantLike the moon and the sun and the sea and the sky and breathYes, it's funny I don't fitWhere have all the average people gone?Funny I don't fitWhere have all the average people gone?
