"Same Old Song And Dance" lyrics

Get yourself a cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder, with nothing to show
With the judge, constipation will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you'll soon end up dead

It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

Caught ya with the cocaine, found with your gun
No smoothy-faced lawyer can get you undone
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend (Uh)
It's the same old story, same old story, same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knocking, doors start locking
Your old time connection, change your direction
You ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

When you're low down and dirty, from walking the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
Say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story, same old song and dance, yeah
