Big Audio Dynamite

Big Audio Dynamite (later known as Big Audio Dynamite II and Big Audio, and often abbreviated BAD) is a British musical group formed in 1984 by the ex-guitarist and singer of the Clash, Mick Jones. The group is noted for its effective mixture of varied musical styles, incorporating elements of punk rock, dance music, hip hop, reggae, and funk. BAD's one constant throughout frequent shifts in membership and musical direction is the vocals provided by Mick Jones. After releasing a number of well received albums and touring extensively throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Big Audio Dynamite disbanded in 1997, but had a reunion tour in 2011. more »

A stranger's a friend 
You just don't know 
With a shake of the hand 
We could give it a go 
I look kinda pale 
They call me gringo 
You got funny hair 
They call you negro 

Under the skin say we're all the same 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
Funny names 

I'm not like you 
You're not like me 
Don't think that will ever change 
It's obvious to see 
You're not like me 
I'm not like you 
Don't mean that we can't get along 
And like each other too 

'cause under the skin say we're all the same 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
Funny names 

Recognise the difference 
Give thanks we ain't the same 
Variety's the spice of life 
Hey fella what's your name 
Some live in the city 
Some come from ghettoes 
Eat funny food 
Speak funny lingo 
Yes a stranger's a friend 
You just don't know 
Forever by your side 
Just like a shadow 

'Cause under the skin say we're all the same 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
Funny names 
How come you call me funny names 
Funny names
