The Same But Different
© 2008 Phil Dolby

When you get lost on the open highway
And you think of the cost you’re not willing to pay
At a Buddha in Bangkok a Nokia tone
A monk on a mobile; a 3G cell phone
 
(chorus)
It’s all the same
It’s all the same, but different
It’s all the same
It’s all the same, but different
 
When you look down on a city landscape
At the far points of light going different ways
You’re a rooftop reporter with a digital feed
And a pixel distorter to control what is seen
 
(chorus)
It’s all the same
It’s all the same, but different
It’s all the same
It’s all the same, but different
 
It’s one of those things, an incalculable thing
But it’s driving me to distraction
We let it go on, even though it’s so wrong
Without ever a call to reaction
How can we sit while the people who
Work the land with their hands
Are broken and shattered
How can we sit while the people who
Work the land with their hands
Don’t seem to matter...
 
When you come home at the end of the day
And your energy’s gone and you’re fading away
There’s a man on a moped on a muddy highway
Going nowhere and slowly with a puncture delay
 
(chorus)
It’s all the same
It’s all the same, but different
It’s all the same
It’s all the same, but different
