Lyrics
Two Different Worlds
There's two different worlds that never meet
There's the working man, and the man on Wall street
There's the people who know it's Christian to share
And those who call themselves Christians, but they don't really care
That there's little kids suffering, not enough to eat
People laying in their own piss, sleeping in the streets
They call you a socialist for trying to help'em out
They say it's not healthy, but I'm having my doubts
'Cause when I start talking about redemption
They start talking tax exemption
When I go and mention spirit they 'aint trying to hear it
Can barely look themselves in the mirror
Don't let me start talking 'bout salvation
'Cause they start talking 'bout stock appreciation
Give us a break cuz, it's harder to take cuz
Something has gotta give, this 'aint no way to live
Two different worlds, getting farther apart
Those who never had a chance, those who think they're so smart
Those people who try to make things more just
They're treated with disdain, and looked at with disgust
Two different worlds that never meet
There's the working man, and the man on Wall street
There's the people who know that it's Christian to share
And those who call themselves Christians, but they don't really care
There's two different worlds that never meet
There's the working man, and the man on Wall street
There's the people who know that it's Christian to share
And those who call themselves Christians, but they don't really care
Look at the oil spill, the finance bill, what God's decreed, and this infinite greed
Look at climate change, look at stock exchanges,
They got gun control laws while you're focused on powerballs
Anarchists and terrorists, they threats moms,
Radical extremist they want them bombs
Look at war and peace, and look at peace and war
Whats happened in the past
And what's in store
I start talking 'bout saving their souls, they start talking 'bout drilling new holes
Is it so hard for you to show some compassion?
I'm not overreacting or I'm talking no action
And while I'm searching for community, they got warrants for you and me
Criminals looking for immunity
One for all, all for one, before the job is done
They just take that money and they run
'Cause when I start talking about redemption they start talking tax exemption
When I go and mention spirit they 'aint trying to hear it
Can barely look themselves in the mirror
Don't let me start talking 'bout salvation
'Cause they start talking 'bout stock appreciation
Give us a break cuz, harder to take cuz
Something has gotta give, this 'aint no way to live
Two different worlds, getting farther apart
Those who never had a chance, those who think they're so smart
And those who try to make things more just
Are treated with disdain, and looked at with disgust
Two different worlds, getting farther apart
Those who never had a chance, those who think they're so smart
And those who try to make things more just
Are treated with disdain, and looked at with disgust
Two different worlds that never meet
There's the working man, and the man on Wall street
There's the people who know that it's Christian to share
And those who call themselves Christians, but they don't really care
There's two different worlds that never meet
There's the working man, and the man on Wall street
There's the people who know that it's Christian to share
And those who call themselves Christians, but they don't really care
Repeat chorus 2x
Two different worlds
