They'll never listen Because their minds are made up And 'course it's all okay to carry on that way Not in the same way Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks Or knackered Converse Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks But all of that's what the point is

Like breathing in sulfur Stay, you don't always know where you stand Till you know that you won't run away There's something inside me that feels My guilt and my shame always sell me short, Always feel the same And my face and my soul always wear me

I used to have so many friends Me and them went different ways Some man wanna drink and party Me and them got different aims And as soon as you cut man out People say that you changed Nothing changed here Same player, different game I've had people try

Its not that I take life for granted Its only that the good wont make it Innocence dies while Villainy Thrives Retribution calls If only I could afflict you Hurt you in the same way that you hurt I just want to exact reprisal The only way I depict you Is

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive I'm wanted dead or alive It's all the same, only the names will change Everyday, it seems we're wastin' away Another place where the faces are so cold I drive all night just to get

These games we play No wins, we're losers, yeah, yeah, yeah You come, you stay You run away Yeah, nothing gon' change It stays the same Nothing's gonna change The crazy little games we play Tell me how you wanna move now

I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways These colors, colors, colors, colors I'm not in the same place That I was, I was, I was, I was But if somebody tells me I'm gonna say no way I'm out of the doorway I'm hearin' them all say

And how long will we fall for this? We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough

Start pumpin' up the party now It's the same old same old It's the same old, same grind But we don't feel we're wasting time Not so bored that we can't find a better way

Yeah, yeah, yeah Because the way I feel is oh so new to me There we were now here we are All this confusion nothing's the same to me I can't sell you the way I feel What I heard is not what I hear I can see the signs but they're not very clear This is
