Jim Boyd 99 Percent Alike
I’m trying to change the color of my eyes
I’m trying to change my shape and my size
I’m trying to change the color of my skin
I’m trying to change it again and again and again
But sweetheart it doesn’t matter
How much of our body we shatter
Because I have learned there’s much less than 1 percent genetic difference bewteen
White and red and
Red and white
And that thought keeps me awake at night
And that means Custer and I are 99 percentalike,
That means Custer and I are 99 percent alike
I’m trying to say I know your secrrets
I’m trying to say I know your regretss
I’m trying to say that I know all your names
I’m trying to say it all again and again and again and again
But sweetheart it doesn’t much matter how many of our illusions we shatter
cause I’ve learned there’s just a little gap between X and Y on the genetic map between men and women,
Of women and men
And that thought makes me smile again
and that means you and I are 99 percent alike
and that means you and I
are 99, percent alike
But sweetheart that 1 percent makes a difference,
yea sweetheart that 1 percent makes a difference
sweetheart that 1 percent makes a difference
in my world,
in your world,
in his world,
in our world
