Same Page, Different Book

[Intro: Prince]

Uh, uh

Check it, one, two, uh

[Verse 1: Prince]

I hitched a train (Mmhmm) between here and St. Paul

Had no idea (No) had to sleep in a pig stall (Dirty, dirty)

Once I got home, the dirt that covered me

Nothing like the disappointment that you would never see

[Chorus: Prince]

Same page but a different book

So much more in common if you'd only look

There's only one God (One God), whatever name He took

Only matters when it comes to war

What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?

[Interlude: Prince]

Breathe

Let it breathe

[Verse 2: Prince]

New kids on the block

Tryin' to make they bed

(Mmm) Here come another rock (Here come y'all)

Upside their head (Oops)

There go the missiles

Headed for the 'hood (Oh Lord)

Trigger another car bomb

Did nobody no good

[Chorus: Prince]

But we're on the same page but a different book

So much more in common if you'd only look (If you'd only look)

There's only one God (One God), whatever name He took (Whatever)

Only matters when it comes to war

What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?

[Interlude: Prince]

Alright, listen y'all

We're about to let this thing just groove

Mm, move

C'mon

[Bridge: Shelby J.]

Chapter, verse, which came first?

Thinkin' too slow while they snatch your purse

Faith, love, good deeds, practicing what you preach

Between you and me, TV ain't reality

That's right, I said it, it's said

Buy this, cop that, all up in yo' head

24 hour news, that ain't right, huh

Them suckers got you daydreamin' at midnight (Hey)

Huh

[Verse 3: Prince]

Galatians Chapter 3 says

The law was as good as dead

Havin' faith in the life, death and resurrection

Of the second Adam instead

Would bring our souls' salvation

If there's works in the faith we choose

But if you're all alone throwin' stones

Who do you think's gonna lose, who do you think's gonna lose?

[Chorus: Prince]

Same page (Oh) but a different book

So much more in common (hey) if you'd only look (Only look, y'all)

One God (Yes it is), whatever name He took (Tell 'em)

Only matters when it comes to war

What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for? (Oh)

Same page, different book

Only matters when it comes to war

What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?

[Outro: Prince]

Same page, different book

Watch out for the sinister minister

They out there y'all, uh

Same page (Looka here) different book

You better off chillin' till the world ends, mm

What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?
