Original Cliche

All your fresh ideas are stolen

And your road less traveled by

Is just a worn out path broken in

With the blind leading the blind

You're a pioneer of nothing

'cause you reinvent the wheel

That's been reinvented a million times before you came along

You're like a broken record song

You can blame it on your daddy

For the role he never played

You can curse the ground he walked upon

And choose to walk the same

Neglecting those who love you

While you trust the ones who don't

And you smoke the grass that's greener

'til it all goes up in flames

And you're too far gone to change

But the price of being cool

Is to make the same mistakes

You're story's nothing new

Just an original cliché

You say that no one understands you

So you walk the world alone

Trying so hard to be different

That you're really just a clone

In a community of loners

Like a blindfold to the eyes

So you don't recognize

The chalky human outline on the floor

That says it's all been done before

'cause the price of being cool

Is to make the same mistakes

You're story's nothing new

Just an original cliché

You see it takes time for the circle

To make its way around

All that stuff you're getting high on

Will only bring you down

Because the price of being cool

Is to make the same mistakes

You're story's nothing new

Just an original cliché
