Real Different - The Boomtown Rats

The world at any time might take its own thalidomide

It’s just one of those things

You see eternity fell out of love when we invented self-destruct

It was one of those things

Now you’re walkin' in, you’re walkin' out, you’re steppin' in and steppin'

round and it don’t change a thing

These fools who have given you these mystical new points of view

That never meant a thing

Oh let’s get drunk and watch the TV, a special’s on tonight

I’ll fill my pocket full of stones and I’ll throw 'em at the light

'Cuz I stop and I think, well

It could be different

A new day but it’s

No different

It’s all changed, but it’s

No different

So stop

And walk away-a-hey-hey, for more of the same

I don’t wanna argue with ya, anyway the end result’s always the same

It’s just I tune into the never-never, everything will sing forever

Ain’t it always the same

They’re beamin' local hope out on the on the stero waves

Salvation’s on the dial but a foot’s in the grave

So you stop and think, well it’s

Real different

It’s not new but it

Seems different

It all changed well

What’s the difference

Stop

And turn away

For more of the same

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-uwoh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-uwoh

It’s the little things they do

That scare me so

Somethin' in their smile

That tells me things ain’t kooooosher

I’m getting too different, I’m getting too dangerous

Doctor, what’s the cure

Tonight’s another set of rules, tonight is not like other nights

I’m almost sure

The doctor clicks his tongue with his real head case

And awaits the generator of rehabilitation

He stops and thinks well

This could be different

A new day but it’s

No different

All changed but

It’s not different

So stop

And turn away-hey-hey-hey

Maybe someday

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-uwoh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-uwoh

It’s no different

(doodoo, a-doodoo, a-doo-doo, a-doodoo, a-doot doot!)
