PRINCE - Same Page Different Book lyrics

rate me

I hitched a train, between here and Saint Pail

Had no idea, had to sleep in a pig stall

Once I got home, the dirt that covered me

Nothing like the disappointment

That you would never see

Same page, but a different book

So much more in common

If you’d only look, there’s only one god

Whatever name he took,

Only matters when it comes to war

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

New kids on the block, try to make they bed

Here come another rock, upside they head

There go the missiles, headed for the hood

Drink another car bomb, did nobody no good

We’re on the same page, but a different book

So much more in common

If you’d only look, there’s only one god

Whatever name he took,

Only matters when it comes to war

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

Chapter, verse, which came first

Thinking so slow

While they snatch your purse

Faith, law, good deeds, practicing what you preach

Between you and me, tv ain’t reality

That’s right, I said it, it’s said

But this, cop that

All up in your head to for hour news

That ain’t rich

Them suckers got you day dreamin at midnight

Galatians chapter 3 says

The law was as good as dead

Having 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 all alone

Throwing stones

Who do you think’s gonna lose

Who you think’s gonna lose

Same page, but a different book

So much more in common

If you’d only look, there’s only one god

Whatever name he took,

Only matters when it comes to war

What we are, what we are, what we are fighting for.
