Big Audio Dynamite - Funny Names lyrics

A stranger's a friend You just don't know With a shake of the hand We could give it a go I look kinda pale They call me gringo You got funny hair They call you negro Under the skin say we're all the same How come when I turn my back You call me funny names How come when I turn my back You call me funny names Funny names I'm not like you You're not like me Don't think that will ever change It's obvious to see You're not like me I'm not like you Don't mean that we can't get along And like each other too 'Cos under the skin say we're all the same How come when I turn my back You call me funny names How come when I turn my back You call me funny names Funny names Recognise the difference Give thanks we ain't the same Variety's the spice of life Hey fella what's your name Some live in the city Some come from ghettoes Eat funny food Speak funny lingo Yes a stranger's a friend You just don't know Forever by your side Just like a shadow 'Cos under the skin say we're all the same How come when I turn my back You call me funny names How come when I turn my back You call me funny names Funny names How come you call me funny names Funny names
