Same Old Story

[Verse 1]
Oh, desperate, down on your knees
Down for the count, begging "Please, won't you please"
Lend me your ear for my old sailor soul
And for God's sakes, kill me
Last night, nothing for me
Pockets of lint and a skeleton key
Give me your bowl and you're hungry
Well hell, here I be, and so

[Chorus]
It's the same old story, born inglorious (Ay!)
So derogatory, born inglorious (Ay!)

[Verse 2]
Let me explain why the echoes surround me
I don't know
Phone in again with the questioning in
And for God's sakes, save me
Hello, tell me what was your name?
Mrs. So-and-So
You got in the van with the answer in hand
And no-one knows

[Chorus]
It's the same old story, born inglorious (Ay!)
So derogatory, born inglorious (Ay!)

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
It's the same old story, born inglorious (Ay!)
So derogatory, born inglorious (Ay!)
