People slipping in the rain,
I watch them get up again.
It makes me feel like I can too.
Just when I get off the ground,
You're back trying to put me down
Like some simpleton you can use...

Well it's the same ol' f'ing story
With your two different sets of rules
The same ol' f'ing story
One for me, two for you
It's the same ol' f'ing story...I've found.
It's the same ol' f'ing story all around...

Still some glory in my eyes,
much to everyone's surprise,
after everything you've put me through...
(yeah, well)
Friends tell me you've been around
Big fish in a big ol' town
Gobbled up all in one fell swoop

Well it's the same ol' f'ing story
With your two different sets of rules
The same ol' f'ing story
One for me, two for you
It's the same ol' f'ing story...I've found.
It's the same ol' f'ing story all around...

Still got my feet on tap to the beat

Still some glory in my eyes,
much to everyone's surprise,
after everything you've put me through...
(yeah, well)
Friends tell me you've been around
Big fish in a big ol' town
Gobbled up all in one fell swoop

Well it's the same ol' f'ing story
With your two different sets of rules
The same ol' f'ing story
One for me, two for you
It's the same ol' f'ing story...I've found.
It's the same ol' f'ing story all around...

It's the same ol' f'ing story,
You know damn well it's true
Same ol'...
Same ol'...
