A Different World |
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank |
Our cribs were covered in lead-based paint |
No childproof lids |
No seatbelts in cars |
Rode bikes with no helmets |
And still here we are |
Still here we are |
We got daddy’s belt when we misbehaved |
Had three TV channels you got up to change |
No video games and no satellite |
All we had were friends and they were outside |
Playing outside |
It was a different life |
When we were boys and girls |
Not just a different time |
It was a different world |
School always started the same everyday |
The pledge of allegiance, then someone would pray |
Not every kid made the team when they tried |
We got disappointed but that was alright |
We turned out alright |
It was a different life |
When we were boys and girls |
Not just a different time |
It was a different world |
No bottled water |
We’d drink from a garden hose |
And every Sunday, |
All the stores were closed. |
It was a different life |
When we were boys and girls |
Not just a different time |
It was a different world |
It was a different life |
When we were boys and girls |
Not just a different time |
It was a different world |
It was a different world |
