Everybody Different

about

tolerance is the key to our future...

lyrics

Went down to the store to buy me a bottle of wine,
’Cause, feeling kinda lonely, felt like cocktail time,
and the man behind the counter, he say to me:
“get to the back of the line
‘cause you smell funny and, anyway,
I don’t think you got no money..”
I say to him…

Everybody different, everyman he drink the same…
Everybody different, everyman he breathe the same…
ooooh...ooooh…oh….

Called my buddy Freddie, say,
“yo freddy, come eat with me tonight,
mexican style, in our favorite restaurant… alley.”
But Montezuma he was waiting
to bring down his revenge on us
Now I feel funny in my tummy,
And Freddie, he feel funny in da tummy too…

Everybody different, everybody eat the same…
Everybody different, everyman he shit the same…

Why do you want me to believe
That we are better, because of color?
Why do you teach me to see
Only limits? I don’t like it…

So tell a joke, pour me a drink,
Spark up a smoke, ‘come and sing…

Everybody different, everybody eat the same…
Everybody different, everyone shit the same…
ooooh...ooooh…oh….

even David Beckham he do it,
Even Maradonna he do it,
Even the Queen she do it, me think with style…

Even Madonna she do it,
Even the priest he do it,
Even the little Napoleon he do it,
but maybe he thinks his don’t stink…
