"Different But The Same" lyrics

Different But The Same

There's no time
To phone home
When you're racing
Your own time
We contemplate
You gotta wait your own turn
Up the noise
With some poison
With great poise
You can't compare it to
Or let it scare you through
If every thing you do
Is not as smoothly as we planned
You gotta understand

There is more for you
But all you gotta do
Is put yourself with the people
They're the ones who make the world spin
Lust in favor, you can win

And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame
That is why you came
That is why you

Came to your senses
To feel it out
And try to kill off
Every doubt
Your mother worries
But no one worries quite like you
And when you start
You must rely on
Your own heart
Cause nothing works the same
Or takes the blame
Or wins the game
With your head in your hands in the pouring rain
I wanna see you as you are
Like a lonely star

There is more for you
But all you gotta do
Is put yourself with the people
They're the ones who make the world spin
Lust in favor, you can win

And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame
That is why you came
That is why you came

You gotta be strong
You gotta teach your son
How to stand up straight
When you want to run
How to care and love
How to be yourself
To be different but the same
