Same Old Thing

[Verse 1]
I woke up in the morning, it's the same old thing
It's the same old phone and it's the same old ring
Wednesday at three got me signing on the dole
Diggin' myself deeper into this hole
Watchin' TV till late afternoon
Hoping I'll be free from this rut real soon
Breathin' the air but I don't feel alive
My heart's still beatin' but I'm dead inside
They see me in the street, ask me how do I do
I say great, it's the same old, same old...

[Chorus]
It's the same old thing, just a different day
I'm throwing all my life away
It's the same old thing, just a different day
I'm waiting for my next benefits pay
It's the same old thing, just a different day
Yeah, I got nothin' new to say
It's the same old thing, just a different day
Help me find a way out

[Post-Chorus]
Help me find a way
I'm going down, down, down

[Verse 2]
No day is different from the rest, I protest
It's a test that we all must come through
And if I only knew what to do
Then maybe I wouldn't be in this Catch-22
I'm a robot, a machine with the same routine
Look over my shoulder and the grass ain't green
Life is just a game, but if you don't take part
Who's gonna remember your name?

[Chorus]
Same old thing, just a different day
Throwing all my life away
It's the same old thing, just a different day
I'm waiting for my next benefits pay
It's the same old thing, just a different day
Now, I got nothin' new to say
It's the same old thing, just a different day
Help me find a way

[Bridge]
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
Is the same, is the same, it's the same
I must be going somewhere
Don't want this life no more, no more, no more
I'm waiting for my next benefits pay, oh
Throwing all my life away
Help me find a way
Help me find a way

[Chorus]
It's the same old thing, just a different day
I'm throwing all my life away
It's the same old thing, just a different day
I'm waiting for my next benefits pay
It's the same old thing, just a different day
Now, I got nothin' new to say
It's the same old thing, just a different day
Throwing all my life away
Every day, every day, every day
(It's the same old thing, just a different day)
Every day, every day
(It's the same old thing, just a different day)
Every day, every day, every day
