"Same Old Song" lyrics

"Same Old Song"

Hey Mama would you pay my rent
Would you let me crash in your basement
Cause any one of us could make it big
Or could end up dead on the pavement
And if I was to die
If the plane went down and you survived

You ever wonder what your parents meant
When they told you grandma's in heaven
Cause I don't feel it like I did back then
In a black sedan of depression
And everyone's alright
I cannot afford to see the light

I don't know what's wrong with me
I killed the mood so naturally
The guests begin to make me feel alone

Same old song
We sing the same old song
We sing the same old same sad song

In La Brea where the tar pits black
Like a starving mouth for the innocent
You said the boulevard was not that bad
And they jacked our van with the instruments
In the broad daylight
They popped the trunk and left the keys behind
The cops pretend to care
I'll never see my mom's guitar again

I don't know what's wrong with me
I killed the mood so naturally
The guests begin to make me feel alone
The party has been done for hours
I'm laying on the bathroom tile
And spilling all my guts below the throne

Same old song
We sing the same old song
We sing the same old same sad song
Same old song
We sing the same old song
We sing the same old same sad song
