Same Old Story

[Verse 1]
Life is easy when you don’t care
And you give only to take
When everyone around you
Likes the money you make
But life’s no good unless you are happy
It’s no good if you are sad
Tell me what’s the use of money
If what you want you can’t have

[Chorus]
It’s that same old story, it’s that same old song
Don’t know where we’re going, only where we’ve gone
We've lost all direction but keep moving on
Telling them same old stories, singing thеm same old songs

[Verse 2]
No one really wants to listеn
To words that sound the same
Or look around when they can only
See misery and pain
But there isn’t much choice
With what’s happening today
Unless we find somebody soon
We could all get washed away

[Chorus]
It’s that same old story, it’s that same old song
Don’t know where we’re going, only where we’ve gone
We've lost all direction but keep moving on
Telling them same old stories, singing them same old songs

[Middle 8]

[Verse 3]
There’s no way that I can help myself
Try to help someone
When there’s so much confusion
About what’s to be done
And unless we find somebody soon
Who’s got something to say
There’s a chance we might not make it
Through another day

[Chorus]
It’s that same old story, it’s that same old song
Don’t know where we’re going, only where we’ve gone
We've lost all direction but keep moving on
Telling those same old stories, singing those same old songs
