Everyday People Lyrics - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(Stewart)

Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong

My own beliefs are in my songs

A butcher a banker a drummer and then

Makes no difference what group I'm in

I am everyday people

Then it's the blue ones who can't accept

The green ones for living with

The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one

Different strokes for different folks

And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha

We gotta live together

I am no better and neither are you

We're all the same whatever we do

You love me you hate me

You know me and then

Still can't figure out the scene I'm in

I am everyday people

Then it's the new man

That doesn't like the short man

For being such a rich one

That will not help the poor one

Different strokes for different folks

And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha

We got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't

Accept the black one

That won't accept the red one

That won't accept the white one

Different strokes for different folks

And so on and so on and

Scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha

I am everyday people

她玩的是简单而纯粹的摇滚乐，她从不把自己的性别当一回事，她是几代摇滚女性的偶像。

Jett的音乐最明显的标誌就是雪崩一样的音量和无法抵抗的钩子(指音乐中引人入胜的细节)，the Rolling Stones一样精力充沛的形象和节奏，AC/DC一样强大的和弦演奏。她坚持摇滚乐的传统，但也不断有所突破——她玩的是经典的三和弦rock & roll，她也喜欢某些被认为是垃圾的东西(比如Gary Glitter)。从他的第一支乐队the Runaways到他在八十年代的金曲机器合作者the Blackhearts直至她在九十年代出人意料的成功复出，她的音乐从未改变过，她用这种方式保证音乐的品质，并用这种方式创造了经典("I Love Rock-n-Roll”)。

Joan Jett原名Joan Larkin，15岁便成立了自己的第一支乐队，并为人们演出。洛杉矶的一个製作人Kim Fowley发现了Joan Jett的乐队，于是他主动担任了乐队的经纪人，在将这支全部由女性组成的乐队改名为the Runaways后，乐队签约于Mercury唱片公司。乐队最初的三张专辑在美国基本没有什幺太大商业成就，但在日本却大受欢迎，而且有趣的是，在洛杉矶的朋克圈和硬摇滚圈中她都十分吃香，她在这种状况下为硬核乐队the Germs製作了他们的第一张专辑《G.I.》。
