/     C/                 Dm/           Am/
    Just two kinds of people in the world
   /                     Dm/              Am/
Now I ain't talking bout the boy and the girl
/           Gm/             C/
Not even talkin rich or poor
      /                 Bb/              C/
No it's deeper than that, a whole lot more
     /                    Dm/            Am/
It's about how we act, how we really behave
    /                         C/    Bb/     Dm/    
You know you ain't nothin but a boss or a slave
DmPeople make a lot of money tell oAmthers what to do
But tDmhat ain't nothing special, Amdon't own me and you
No mGmatter where you are on the tCotem pole
There's aBblways someone higher or dCeeper in the hole
Don't mDmatter if you're scared or iAmf you're brave
You kCnow you ain't nothing but a bBboss or a slDmave
/                  C/            Am/
Boss or a slave it's a choice we make

DmMisguided people trAmyin to control
They mDmay own your body but they cAman't buy your soul
You gGmive what you want, beCcome what you may
You jBbust face yourself at the eCnd of each day
But if you fDmly through the sky or lAmive in a cave
