Same Old Story watching the talk shows and shock shows, the eyes see visions in prisons the slaves to the T.V. long ago the poets wrote of romance and amour dreams that seemed so real before false information is spread through the nation street crack and kickbacks from station to station we're the lost and lonely ones who buy the words they sell can't believe that we keep walking on the road that leads to hell same old story same old story only to escape counting their money all dripping with honey measure their power in women and powder leaving lines of emptiness and kids without a home don't they know that in the end it's what you've done not what you own same old story same old story only to escape in this wide world of confusion and insight show me the way through the darkness with your light if you'll be my teacher I will practice all I've learned show me how to walk through fire without fear of getting burned same old story same old story only to escape we're the lost and lonely ones who buy the words they sell can't believe that we keep walking on the road that leads to hell same old story same old story only to escape |
