It's Not The Same For Us - Level 42

I know you live on my street

I sometimes wonder

Why we don’t meet

I’ve seen your face in the sky

Twenty-five stories high

You never come down to earth

Communication (communication)

Could hardly be much worse

Don’t keep me here in the dark

I want to be your friend

Your fears are way off the mark

Every generation

Sees it their own way

Never learning their lessons

Making the same mistakes again

It’s not the same for us — as history fades away

It’s not the same for us

It’s not the same for us — you must hear me when I say

It’s not the same for us

Look out on this brave new land

Think of the future

The future that lays in our hands

Our leaders live in the past

We can change it

There’s something to hope for at last

Every generation

Sees it their own way

Never learning their lessons

Making the same mistakes again

It’s not the same for us — as history fades away

It’s not the same for us

It’s not the same for us — do you hear me when I say

It’s not the same for us

(It's not the same for us)

What dreams are you chasing now?

What are you living for?

(It's not the same for us)

The problems that we’re facing now

Nobody faced before

(It's not the same for us)

Please don’t reject me

In anger or in sorrow

(It's not the same for us)

You’ve got to accept me

If we’re to make a better tomorrow

It’s not the same — it’s not the same for us
