Different Worlds

Fifty Eggs

[I don't understand the mumbling at the end]

When I go by black people's cars
I always like the music from their radio better than mine
But I never get their station 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 in different schools
And we get different jobs
When one of them or one of us steals
It's different things we rob

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

Hey, we live in different worlds
Right along, beside each other
Hey, we live in different worlds
Right up next to one another

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
Except 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

Hey, we live in different worlds
Right along, beside each other
Hey, we live in different worlds
Right up next to one another

Hey, we live in different worlds
Right along, beside each other
Hey, we live in different worlds
Right up next to one another

When I go by black people's cars
I always like the music from their radio better than mine
