Garbage in and garbage out, trailer trash & garbage mouth;

      Something stinks an' it ain't me.

         Tabloid talk show, scream and shout-- the decline of Western Civ, no doubt;

            I think I watch too much TV.

               I'm just looking for a lucky break, I'm just looking for a way I can escape.



                                I wish that I could be in A Different World,

                             A new reality in A Different World,

                          Find some room the breathe in A Different World,

                       A little bit of peace in A Different World.





   Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy, being tailed by private eyes;

      Big Brother's watchin' you.

         The IRS, the FBI, I'm just an ordinary guy, 

            Tell me, what's a man to do?

               I keep on lookin' for a way to forget, I keep on lookin', but I ain't found it yet.



                                I wish that I could be in A Different World,

                             Sing in another key in A Different World,

                          Live the life I lead in A Different World,

                       One ticket, please, to A Different World.




		All aboard the Freedom Train-it's time we made a move again.

		If you're waiting for a change, things will always stay the same.





   Dirty kids walkin' city streets, sleeping on that cold concrete,

      Gimme one good reason I should stay.
	
         Crack house in suburban town, junkie's passing needles 'round; 

            There has got to be another way.

               This pressure cooker is just about to blow, it's boiling over an' there ain't nowhere to go.



                                I wish that I could be in A Different World,

                             Finally be free in A Different World,

                          Get up off my knees in A Different World,

                       Find something to believe in A Different World.



                I wish that I could be in A Different World,

             Think of the possibilities in A Different World,

          Just you and me in A Different World,

       Someday we will meet in A Different World.
