Pilar (Things Here Are Different)

[Verse 1]

It's been five years since the man has died

Don't think the people have changed

We can put up posters, we can riot in the street

Still a woman can't make ends meet

[Chorus]

So why don't you do something about it?

Things don't happen to you, you make them happen

She laughed

Said, "You don't understand

From another land

Things here are different

Things here are different"

[Verse 2]

"Here in sunny Spain, the widows all wear black

To show their respect and their sorrow

Here in Spain, so simple is our life

You're either a whore, a mother, or a wife"

[Chorus]

So why don't you do something about it?

Things don't happen to you, you make them happen

She laughed

Said, "You don't understand

You're from another land

Things here are different, different

Things here are different"

[Verse 3]

We've seen your freedom, we hear your TV shows

So simple, so inviting, thought I'd like to know

I'm the talk of the town, I'm the shame of my family

Your wonderful freedom, look where it's got me

[Chorus]

So why don't you do something about it?

Things don't happen to you, you make them happen

She laughed

Said, "You don't understand

You're from another land

Things here are different, different

Things here are different, they're different

Things here are different, they're different

Things here are different, they're different

Things here are different, here they're different

Things here are different, here they're different"
