Same Old Song And Dance

Same Old Song And Dance

98 Mute
(album: After The Fall)

Back stage at all the shows
Snorting white shit right up our nose
Will we ever learn from our tragic past?
We´ve become what we all hate
rockstar egos inebriate
Bright lights of the future are fading fast.

Submerged in a movement I no longer comprehend
Trapped in a scene, that I no longer understand
Trapped in a cause, I´m sinking in quick-sand
Trapped under lies, can someone please lend me a hand?

It´s the same old song and dance!

Will the kids ever see the truth?
The old-Goth kids they follow you.
When will they have the strength to knock-us down?

"We pretend we´re like you
But we haven´t got a fuckin´ clue"
We´ll laugh as we watch it burn to the ground

Submerged in a movement I no longer comprehend
Trapped in a scene, that I no longer understand
Trapped in a cause I´m sinking in quick-sand
Trapped under lies, can someone please lend me a hand?

There was a time when there was made love not war.
But now it´s just about making money..
And then making more.

I remember when it was my band
And five dollars at the door
But now all you care about is making money..
And then making more!

Punks not dead it´s alive and well
It´s in the malls you can buy it retail
Fuck the scene let´s put it to bed
Kill the cause because it´s already dead

It´s the same old song and dance!
It´s the same old song and dance!
It´s the same old song and dance!
It´s the same old song and dance!
It´s the same old song and dance!
Tired of punk rock stands
It´s the same old song and dance!
Tired of punk rock giants
Tired of punk rock giants
Tired of punk rock giants
