Skin Deep

"Skin Deep" featuring Buddy Guy | Playing For Change


Lyrics

I've been around a whileI know wrong from rightAnd since a long time agoThings been always black and whiteJust like you can't judge a book by the coverWe all gotta be carefulHow we treat one another
Skin DeepSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameSkin DeepSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameWe're all of the same
A man in LouisianaHe never called me by my nameHe said "boy do this and boy do that"But I never once complainedI knew he had a good heartBut he just didn't understandThat I needed to be treatedJust like any other man
Skin DeepSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameSkin DeepSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameWe're all of the same
I sat my little child downwhen he was old enough to knowI said I fell in this big wide worldYou're gonna be all kinda frozeI said son it all comes down to just one simple ruleThat you treat everybody just the wayYou want them to treat youYeah
Skin DeepSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameSkin DeepSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameWe're all of the sameSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameSkin DeepSkin DeepUnderneath we're all the sameWe're all of the sameYeah

On the occasion of my last day in action in an OpenText office let me commemorate a most special moment in my career. Peter & Peter at  OpenText Enterprise World 2019  in Toronto. The lyrics of the song  " Fourteen Black Paintings " by  Peter Gabriel  have a deep meaning for me: They connect my iXOS tenure (1996 - 2001) with my OpenText tenure (2003 - 2024), and they express my hope for a changed world where we all can live together in peace. To my congenial co-creators at OpenText:           Thank you for the company ! ________________________________ P.S. Peter (PeLi) has been updated to version 6.1:

Inkompetenzkompensationskompetenz

Competence in Compensating for Incompetence Aus dem Sportteil des Münchner Merkur vom 20.11.2024: Ex-Mentalcoach der Löwen Böswald:  „Bei 1860 herrscht Schwarm-Inkompetenz“ Dort hält sich jeder für hochkompetent, dabei ist das Gegenteil der Fall.   Es gibt ein tolles Wort dafür, das der Philosoph Odo Marquard kreiert hat:  Inkompetenz-Kompensationskompetenz . Marquard meint damit:  Die Fähigkeit, die eigene Unfähigkeit zu vertuschen und mit Pseudokompetenz zu kaschieren.  Die Amerikaner sagen dazu: Fake it till you make it. Auf gut Deutsch: Täusche etwas vor, und wenn sich Erfolg einstellt, kannst du behaupten, es lag an dir.  Das Dumme ist nur: Am Ende setzt sich immer die Inkompetenz durch. ... Schein statt Sein ! Diese Beobachtung könnte auch im Politikteil erschienen sein.

Scattered  · David Gilmour Luck and Strange Scattered performed live @ Hollywood Bowl Lyrics [Verse 1] Take my arm and walk with me Once more down this dusty old path The sunset cuts the hill in half Our shadows stretch back to touch the night The light’s fading, you say But these darkening days Flow like honey [Verse 2] These days slowing down A whole life in a glance The clearest light shines in the darkness Shining on me And we’re still doing this dance One step at a time As the days slip by As smooth as glass The moments pass [Chorus] And all these precious things you gave That I’ve been holding in my hands These grains of sand A man stands in a river Pushes against the stream Time is a tide that disobeys It disobeys me [Verse 3] These days slowing down A whole life in a glance The clearest light shines in the darkness Still shining on me And we’re still doing this dance The moon and the stars As the days slip by As smooth as glass The moments pass [Instrumental Break] [Chorus...
