There's an important issue that has to be corrected in the database for this song. The version on "Barcelona Gold" is an entirely different vocal take than on the original version, the lyrics rewritten to tone down the strong message of the original. The original edgy lyrics are about judging people because they look like a prostitute, like the might sell dope, it being okay to date a different race, etc. The Barcelona Gold CD lyrics feature a softened message about everyone getting along... Not sure which lyrics versions appear on all the other discs listed in the database--not sure if the revised lyrics were the ones used for the single version even.

The single version is just an edit of the original album version, same lyrics.
And Daniel is right, I have that CD and they are completely different, I haven't listened to that disc in ages.
By the way, there is another unique version on that disc, and that is Madonna's "This Used To Be My Playground".
It is the shortest version available, shorter than the 5:06 single version, clocking in at about 4:43.
They edited it at the last section, at 4:07.

my commercial cassingle issued as eastwest 98487 states the version as the "lp edit" with no listed run time but actually runs 4:10.....the db states the following which seems incorrect since the lp version runs 4:50...it should be corrected
(dj copiesd of this cd single run (4:10) the "LP version", (4:24) the "Theo's Rec And Wreck edit", (3:58) the "Tommy's Spoiled Brat edit" and (4:04) the "James remix edit")
