Lyrics of Same Page, Different Book by Prince

intro

Check it, one, two

verse

I hitched a train
Between here and St. Paul (Paul)
Had no idea (no)
Had to sleep in a pig stall (dirty, dirty)

verse

Once I got home
The dirt that covered me
Nothing like the disappointment
That you would never see

chorus

Same page
But a different book
So much more in common
If you'd only look

chorus

There's only one God (one God)
Whatever name He took
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?

outro

Breathe
Let it
Breathe

verse

New kids on the block
Tryna to make they bed
Here come another rock (here come y'all)
Upside their head (ops!)

verse

There go the missiles
Headed for the 'hood (oh Lord)
Trigger another car bomb
Did nobody no good

chorus

(But we're on the) same page
But a different book
So much more in common (so much more)
If you'd only look (If you'd only look)

chorus

There's only one God (one God)
Whatever name He took (what, whatever)
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?

outro

Alright, listen y'all
We're about to let this thing just groove
Move
C'mon, now

verse

Chapter, verse, which came first?
Thinkin' too slow while they snatch your purse
Faith, love, good deeds
Practicing what you preach
Between you and me
TV ain't reality

verse

That's right, I said it, it's said
Buy this, cop that, all up in yo' head
Twenty-four hour news, that ain't right
Them suckers got you (hey) daydreamin' at midnight

verse

Galatians chapter three says
The law was as good as dead
Have faith in the life
Death and resurrection
Of the second Adam instead

verse

Would bring our souls' salvation
If there's works in the faith we choose
But if you're all alone throwin' stones
Who do you think's gonna lose?
Who do you think's gonna lose?

chorus

Same page
(Oh) but a different book
So much more in common (hey, hey)
If you'd only look (only look, y'all)

chorus

One God (one God, yes it is)
Whatever name He took (Tell 'em)
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for? (Oh, hey, hey, oh)

hook

Same page
Different book
Same page
Different book
Same page
Different book

chorus

Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?

chorus

Same page
Different book
Watch out for the sinister minister
They out there y'all

chorus

Same page (Look at here)
Different book
Better off chillin' 'til the world ends
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?
Writer(s): Prince Rogers Nelson, Shelby Marie Johnson
