You need a new song   I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul   Don't take me too long   But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old      My fingers kill me as I play my guitar   'Cause I've been chewing down at my nails   My hairline ain't exactly superstar   But there's one thing that never fails, this never fails      I write the same old song with a few new lines   And everybody wants to cheer it   I write the same old song you heard a good few times   Admit you really want to hear it      Whenever I see you   You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man   Just 'cause I please you   You explain, but you don't think I can understand      My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen   'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul   Nothing really ever changes my friend   New lamps for old, new lamps for old      We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car   You can look but you won't ever drive it   We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar   We get hung over, but we always survive it      Turn on the radio love is proclaimed   Again and again and again   Join in and sing now, don't be ashamed   Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain   Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain   Let it rain, let it rain      We hum the same old lines to a different crowd   And everybody wants to cheer it   We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud   But we never ever seem to get near it      We sing the same old song, same old song   We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car   You can look but you won't ever drive it   We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar   We get hung over, but we always survive it      We sing the same old song, same old song   We sing the same old song, same old song
