different worlds by Dan Bern

when i go by black people's cars,
   i always like the music from
   their radios
better than mine. but i never get
   their stations in. i don't think 
   my car gets it.

we live in different houses and we
drive different cars
we live in different parts of town and
go to different bars

we speak a different language and we
wear different clothes
got to different movies and we
tie different bows

we go to different schools and we
get different jobs
when one of them and one of us steals
it's different things we rob

chorus:
hey we live in different worlds
right along beside each other
hey we live in different worlds
right up next to one another

we eat different food and we
drink different booze
cheer for different football heroes
we hope the other ones lose

we laugh at different jokes and we
have different names
watch different tv shows and
play different games

we speak a different language and we
sleep in different beds
we like different jewelry and
put different things on our heads

chorus

we join different clubs and we
read different magazines
we have different dna and
pass along different genes

we have different hair and noses
we have different teeth
in fact everything is different
'cept under our feet

we live in a different universe
we live in a microwave
i think we're invisible now
i gotta go, i need a shave

chorus
