Doin' the Same Old Same Lyrics

Verse

Everybody's got a troubled heart

It's only a sign that we're all a part

Of an aching body of broken bones

All together

Yet each alone

Throwing stones

Chorus

How much longer

Can we hide the shame?

Turning our backs

And dishing out the blame

Putting down

Taking aim

How much longer

Can we live

Doing the the old same?

Verse

Everybody's got that piece of doubt

A stone in the soul that we can't shake out

We know deep down that we were born to fly

But shrink before

The blue open sky

Never asking why

Chorus

How much longer

Can we live in fear?

Head in the sand

And then we disappear

Feeding a monster

That we're scared to tame

How much longer

Can we live

Doing the same old same?

Bridge

Verse

We live on a fault

But when the earth feels still

Everybody forgets until

The building's dance

And the bridges sway

When the world we know

Begins to fall away

No one knows the day

Chorus

How much longer

Can we stay asleep?

Paying for junk

When we can get it cheap

Then pile it high

Until we win the game

How much longer

Can we live

Doing the same old same?
