[Verse 1]
There may be not much difference
Between Chairman Mao and Richard Nixon
We strip them naked
[Verse 2]
There may be not much difference
Between Marilyn Monroe and Lenny Bruce
We check their coffins
[Verse 3]
There may be not much difference
Between White House and Hall of People
We count their windows
[Verse 4]
There may be not much difference
Between Raquel Welch and Jerry Rubin
We hear their heartbeat
[Chorus]
We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together
[Verse 5]
There may be not much difference
Between Eldridge Cleaver and Queen of England
We bottle their tears
[Verse 6]
There may be not much difference
Between Manson and the Pope
We press their smile
[Verse 7]
There may be not much difference
Between Rockefeller and you
We hear you sing
[Verse 8]
There may not be much difference
Between you and me
We show our dreams
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Hey! There's no difference!
What's the difference? What's the difference?
What? What?
There's no difference! There's no difference!
What's the difference?
There may be not much difference
Between Chairman Mao and Richard Nixon
We strip them naked
[Verse 2]
There may be not much difference
Between Marilyn Monroe and Lenny Bruce
We check their coffins
[Verse 3]
There may be not much difference
Between White House and Hall of People
We count their windows
[Verse 4]
There may be not much difference
Between Raquel Welch and Jerry Rubin
We hear their heartbeat
[Chorus]
We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together
[Verse 5]
There may be not much difference
Between Eldridge Cleaver and Queen of England
We bottle their tears
[Verse 6]
There may be not much difference

[Verse 8]
There may not be much difference
Between you and me

[Chorus]
[Outro]
Hey! There's no difference!
What's the difference? What's the difference?
What? What?
There's no difference! There's no difference!
What's the difference?
