The 77s
A Different Kind of Light (Live at Cornerstone 1984)
[Spoken Intro]
Some of you might remember this one from the "Ping Pong" album. You gotta help us sing it at the end.
[Verse 1]
I heard about the light of progress
Could never see that far
Couldn't find the light of success
Must've had a change of address
I don't care what the people say
There's got to be a better way, hey, yeah
Don't want the usual merchandise recycled in a new disguise
[Verse 2]
I took a shot at meditation
I tried it like the old book said
All I got was more frustration
Must've had the wrong translation
I don't care what the people say
There's got to be a better way, oh, yeah
Don't want the usual merchandise recycled in a new disguise
[Chorus]
I'm following a different light
A different kind of light
A different kind of light
I'm following a different light
A different kind of light
A different kind of light
[Verse 3]
They talk about a light inside you
I hope I never get that blind
I don't want to take my chances
On joining the collective unconscious
I'm waiting for the clouds to break, break, break
I'm looking for the road to take
Don't want the usual merchandise recycled in a new disguise
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I'm following a different light
A different kind of light
A different kind of light
(Come on, sing it with us!)
I'm following the light
A different kind of light
A different kind of light
Come on!
[Outro]
I'm following a different light, light, light
(Light! Light! Light!)
A different kind of light, light, light
(Light! Light! Light!)
A different kind of light
Come on, come on!
I'm following a different light, light, light
(Light! Light! Light!)
A different kind of light, light, light
(Light! Light! Light!)
A different kind of light
Following a different light
