New Song

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 trick that never fails

This never fails

I write the same old song with a few new lines

Everybody wants to cheer it

I write the same old song you heard a good few times

Admit you really want to hear it

Ah, yea

Whenever I see you

You try to 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 hum the same old lines to a different crowd

Everybody's wanting to hear it

We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud

But we never ever seem to get near 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 need a new song

But why not sing the change

Underneath a harvest moon

The mood was all wrong

Who wanna see the rage

Somebody switched the tune

It's easy being obnoxious and queer

The difference could earn you fame

Nothings left unsaid, it's just another year

But we need shaken up just the same

Just the same

We sing the same old line, 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

Get hung over but we always survive it

Sing the same old song, sing the same old song

Like the same old song with a few new lines

Everybody wants to cheer it

Like the same old song, you heard a good few times

Admit you really want to hear it
