Same Old Story

One day you set my sights
Set ‘em for the sky
Believed in me and what I could be
What a waste of time
Couldn't afford the shoes
I couldn't be like you
I didn't choose this life
You said it in front of me
I want an apology or I'll punch out your lights

Same ole story
And yeah a little bit boring
Tried to conform me
And now you're starting to worry

Mindless games that you would play
Now play in my mind
Points of views that you would use
Are as useless as your life
Who am I anyway?
A victim of child's play
One step from suicide
Abundance of fortitude, monstrous attitude, is all
that's kept me alive

Same ole story
And yeah a little bit boring
Tried to conform me
And now you're starting to worry

Hey what, say what, tell me what you want
I don't really give a damn
No way, not today, it doesn't matter anyway
Too late, you should have thought about it then

Same ole story
And yeah a little bit boring
Tried to conform me
And now you're starting to worry
Up down turn around
Get up knock you back down
You wanna play, well let's play then
Stop, why, you gonna cry
Maybe you just ought to die

Man this ain't about the pretend
