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 got to learn how to see in your fantasy.     
          
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 got to learn how to see in your fantasy.     

     
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' 'cause     
You and me and sister ain't got nothin' to hide.     
Scatman, fat man, black and white and brown man    
Tell me 'bout the colour of your soul.     
If part of your solution isn't ending the pollution     
Then I don't want to hear your stories told.     
I want to welcome you to Scatman's world

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 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 want to 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 (yeah)     
Welcome to the Scatman's world

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 got to learn how to see in your fantasy.
