You may take me for a fool
But after all I'm much like you
Shaken or stirred, with or without a clue
In how we present our points of view
You are me and I am you
In a lot of what we all go through

We happen to be much the same
Though different colors, shapes, and names
Some prefer early, some preform late
Some jump right in, some hesitate
Some spill the beans in what they say
Some by all means don't give a thing away

With this true who are we to judge
Life itself is tough enough
We need to learn to get along
This hate we've made is overdone
Turn off the stove, pull out the plug
Come together in one cause

No ifs, ands, or even buts
No wish you man a lot of luck
All are equal to the sum
Both you and me and everyone
Not all that simple, more than tough
But it can be done if done in love

Because after all I'm much like you
In all the foolish things we do
