KENYA

He wears Birkenstocks I wear heels
I weigh and determine things, and he feels
He wants us to join a commune and he's for real
I think we're gonna have to break up
He thinks our life destinies may not correlate.

He likes Berkeley, I ski Vail
He protests each week I post his bail
He will not eat or vote for a Quayle
I think we're gonna have to break up
He thinks we'll have to explore alternate life planes.

This love affair is failing
He recycles, I'll admit I throw away
His love for me is paling
Lately he's been hanging up on my friends from the NRA

He likes jazz and blues, I like rock
He boycotts Nestle, I own stock
He's pissed off at our slumlord he doesn't know I own the block
I think we're gonna have to break up
Yeah, he thinks we're gonna have to break up

This love affair is bombin'
But we're staying together cause we need each other too
Yeah we've got one thing in common
No it isn't my Trent Lott poster or his love of tofu
Kenya, Kenya, we both want to go to Kenya
Kenya, Kenya, it's keeping us whole
Kenya, Kenya, I'll pay his way to Kenya
I want to find neat earrings, he wants to find his soul
