Prince - Same Page Different Book Lyrics

Ah, ah
Checkin' one, two, uh

I hitched a train (mhm)
Between here & Saint Paul (Paul)
Had no idea (no)
That I'd sleep in a pig stall (dirty, dirty)
Once I got home (oh)
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 (one God)
Whatever name He took
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?

Breathe, let it
Breathe

New kids on the block
Tryin' to make their beds (mmm)
Here comes another rock (here come your)
Upside their heads (oops)
There goes the missile
Headed for the hood (oh Lord)
Trigger another car bomb (boom)
Did nobody no good

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 (what-what-whatever)
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?

All right, listen ya'll
We're about to let this thing just groove
Mmm, move
C'mon now

Chapter, verse, which came first?
Thinkin' too slow while they snatch ya purse (woo)
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
Buy this, cop that, all up in ya head
24-hour news, that ain't right, huh
Them suckas gotcha daydreaming at midnight, ha

Galatians chapter three says
The law was as good as dead
Having faith in the life, death and resurrection
Of the second Adam instead
Would bring us all salvation
If there's works in the faith we choose
But if you're all alone, throwing stones
Who do you think's gonna lose?
Who do you think's gonna lose?

Same page (oh), but a different book (haha)
So much more in common if you'd only look (hey, hey only look, y'all)
One God (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?

Same page, different book
Same page, different book
Same page, different book
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?

Same page, different book
Watch out for the sinister minister
They're out there y'all, uh
Same page, different book (look out)
You're better off chillin' 'til the world ends, uh
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?
