What’s the Difference (Chapter III) Songtext
von Scott McKenzie

Hey friend wake up
There′s no sleeping in the parlor room
Can't you see we′re discussing something new that we have found?
We are listening to a brother
Who is offering us new answers
The spider and the fly go one more round

What's the difference in the words we are speaking?
They don't read the same
But they have a friendly rhyme
The questioners and answerers have only changed their costumes
The play begins an ancient thousandth time


I have written this same song a hundred times moreover
But I said nothing different
For I′ve always made it rhyme
And the poet we both know
Once said things that rhyme are all the same
The spider needs the fly just one more time

What′s the difference if you're seeking or finding?
Even Jesus tried to say it when he stumbled his last mile
The questioners and answerers are too sad to be flipping coins
And nothing ever changes but their style

What′s the difference if you're seeking or finding?
Even Jesus tried to save it
When he stumbled his last mile
Questioners and answerers are two sides of a flipping coin
Nothing ever changes but their style
Nothing ever changes but their style
