New Song

You need a new songI'll set the words up so they tear right at your soulDon't take me too longBut there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something oldMy fingers kill me as I play my guitar'Cause I've been chewing down at my nailsMy hairline ain't exactly superstarBut there's one thing that never failsThis never failsI write the same old song with a few new linesAnd everybody wants to cheer itI write the same old song you heard a good few timesAdmit you really want to hear itWhenever I see youYou always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect manJust 'cause I please youYou explain, but you don't think I can understandMy head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soulNothing really ever changes my friendNew lamps for oldNew lamps for oldWe sing the same old song, just like a vintage carYou can look but you won't ever drive itWe drink the same old wine from a brand new jarWe get hung over, but we always survive itTurn on the radioLove is proclaimedAgain and again and againJoin in and singNow, don't be ashamedLet it rain, let it rain, let it rainLet it rain, let it rain, let it rainLet it rainLet it rainWe hum the same old lines to a different crowdAnd everybody wants to cheer itWe run on endless time to reach a higher cloudBut we never ever seem to get near itWe sing the same old song
