A Different World
A Different World
Bucky Covington
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are, still here we are
We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside, playin' outside
Chorus
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right, we turned out all right
Chorus
Bridge
No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday, all the stores were closed
Chorus
Chorus
It was a different world
Um Mundo Diferente
Um Mundo Diferente
Bucky Covington
Fomos criados por mães que fumavam e bebiam
Nossos berços eram cobertos de tinta com chumbo
Sem tampas seguras, sem cinto de segurança no carro
Andávamos de bike sem capacete e ainda estamos aqui, ainda estamos aqui
Levávamos a cinta do papai quando aprontávamos
Tínhamos três canais de TV, você levantava pra trocar
Sem videogame e sem satélite
Tudo que tínhamos eram amigos e eles estavam lá fora, brincando lá fora
Refrão
Era uma vida diferente
Quando éramos meninos e meninas
Não era só uma época diferente
Era um mundo diferente
A escola sempre começava igual todo dia
O juramento à bandeira, depois alguém rezava
Nem toda criança entrava no time quando tentava
Ficávamos desapontados e tudo bem, nós nos saímos bem
Refrão
Ponte
Sem água engarrafada, bebíamos da mangueira
E todo domingo, todas as lojas estavam fechadas
Refrão
Refrão
Era um mundo diferente
