about

originally from the Gone to Bolivia album arranged by Audrey Ochoa performed live with strings and horns

lyrics

All around the world, every human being
Has a start and a false start, an end and a beginning
whether a bone to pick or seed to sow
there is one thing that I know
what you choose to do or not do
this is one thing that is true
Everybody matters
Everybody matters
Even you
The Concubine, the Creole maid
The one who calls a spade a spade
The drinker drinking in the bar
the dreamer staring at the stars
The cook who burns all the meals
The dad who can’t say what he feels
the fat kid on the fat farm,
the salesman with all the charm
Everybody matters
Everybody matters
Even you matter too
the bum with the shopping cart
the redneck and the pop tart
the bully in the schoolyard
the porn star working hard
the man who cheated on his wife
the robber with the kitchen knife
the hooker at the edge of town
the drummer who keeps slowing down
the peacenik and the fascist
the slowest and the fastest
the mailman, the store clerk
bartender and the soda jerk
the dancer with the left feet
the girl that doesn’t eat wheat
the rich and the royal
the clean and the soiled
dicator and the diplomat
bald guy in a big hat
the comic book collector
the soviet defector
the drunkard and the teetotaler
the bluesman and the mountain yodeler
the one who gave the plot away
the other who just couldn’t stay
the pirate and the sailor
the mother and the jailor
the winner and the failer
Everybody matters
Everybody matters
Even you matter too
