People From Other Cultures

[Verse 1]
My mother's on the phone
She doesn't understand
Why I'm always fearful of the dangers in the world
I said it's different cultures
She's from a different world
I said it's a different generation

[Chorus]
You know when she was just a child
They had to hide in caves and hush
The babies so the enemies could not find them?
I can't imagine what it's like to be a parent then
She's accustomed to the danger

[Verse 2]
My mother's on the phone
She doesn't understand
Why her son isn't settled down and happy
I said it's different cultures
She's from a different world
I said it's a different generation

[Chorus]
You know when she was just a child
They told the lepers that the blood of
Kids could cure them of their situation?
I can't imagine what it's like to be a kid back then
She knows I'm a lucky one

[Verse 3]
My mother's on the phone
She doesn't understand
Why I'm not a braver person in the face of danger
I said it's different cultures
She's from a different universe
I said it's a different generation

[Chorus]
You know when she was just a young one
She saw the U.N. soldiers firing back
On battlecruisers in the distance?
It makes you feel a little stupid talking back to her
She still recalls it all
