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 live in different schools, and we

Get different jobs

When one of them and 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

'cept under our feet

We live in a different universe

We live in a microwave

I think we're invisible now

I gotta go now, 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
