B.a.d. 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
