A Different World lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics A Different World lyrics 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 song lyrics
