Collision of Worlds

"Collision of Worlds" is the first song that plays during the end credits of 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 morning light ol' glory's in the sky

Across 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

That V8 growl to a V12 scream

Hail to the chief, well, God save the Queen!

Cops, Bobbies, Tabasco, Wasabi

(Mater: 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 ol' 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 I10, 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

It's a collision of worlds

It's too late and 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

Trivia
