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 old story

And yeah a little bit boring, yeah
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 old story

And yeah a little bit boring, yeah
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
Yeah
Same old story

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