Same Page, Different Book

Prince

    Uh, uh
    Check it, one, two, uh

    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

    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

    Continues after the ad

    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

    But we're on the same page but a different book
    So much more in common if you'd only look (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?

    Alright, listen y'all
    We're about to let this thing just groove
    Mm, move
    C'mon

    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
    Twenty-four hour news, that ain't right, huh
    Them suckers got you daydreamin' at midnight (hey)
    Huh

    Galatians chapter three says
    The law was as good as dead
    Have 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?

    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
    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 out there y'all
    Uh
    Same page (looka here), different book
    You better off chillin' 'til the world ends, mm
    What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?
