LYRICS:

Everybody's talkin' something very shockin'
just to keep on blockin' what they're feelin' inside.
But listen to me brother, you just keep on walkin',
'cos you and me and sister ain't got nothing to hide.
Scatman, fat man, black and white and brown man,
tell me 'bout the color of your soul.
If part of your solution isn't ending the pollution,
then I don't wanna hear your story told.

[I'm calling out from Scatland.
I'm calling out from Scatman's World.
If you wanna break free, you better listen to me,
you've got to learn how to see in your fantasy.]

Everybody's born to compete as he chooses,
but how can someone win if winning means that someone loses?
I sit and see and wonder what it's like to be in touch.
No wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutch.
I wanna be a human being, not a human doing.
I couldn't keep that pace up if I tried.
The source of my intention really isn't crime prevention,
my intention is prevention of the lie.

[CHORUSx2]

Listen to me

[CHORUSx2, but after a key change]
