"Collision of Worlds" is the first song that plays during the end credits of the 2011 Disney/Pixar animated film, Cars 2. It is performed by Brad Paisley and Robbie Williams and is lyrically told from the perspective of Lightning McQueen and Mater about their trip around the world.
Lyrics[]
Whoa!
At the first sign of the morning light Old Glory's in the sky
'Cross the pond it's afternoon and the Union Jack flies high
We're on our first cup of coffee
We're on our third cup of tea
And we can't pretend to live on different planets, you and me
In this collision of worlds
Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore
In this collision of worlds
Oh, you can't sit this out no more
Abbey Road, Route 66
CIA, to the MI-6
Right lane, left lane
Metric, imperial
Pounds, dollars
Howdy! Cheerio!
A V8 growl, to a V12 scream
Hail to the chief, God Save the Queen
Cops, bobbies
Tabasco, wasabi
Pistachio ice cream
In this collision of worlds
Well, it's too late, you can't stop it now
In this collision of worlds
Yeah find you a place and just watch it now
Watch it now
(instrumental)
Yeah, you're a good ole boy
Well, you're a decent bloke
I say it's irony
I say it's a joke
When I look around now I can see
We ain't so different you and me
Meat and potatoes
Bangers and mash
Dollars, pounds
Dosh, cash
Autobahn to the rising sun
The I-10 to the M1
Congress, Parliament
President, The Queen
Petrol, you say, gasoline
Now grab your bird
And get your girl
Now it's a small world
Collision of worlds
Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore
In this collision of worlds
No you can't sit this out no more
In this collision of worlds
It's too late, you can't stop it now
Collision of worlds
Find you a place and watch it now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
