Lyrics
Same Old Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One hand will take, one hand will give
That's all we know and that is how we live
One day hello, next day goodbye
And everyone just stay high
Same old story, same old song
Goes all right till it goes all wrong
Now you're going, then you're gone
Same old story, same old song
One builds you up, one tears you down
To some you're a saint, to others you're a clown
What can you do, just see it through
And hold on to what is left to you
Same old story, same old song
Goes all right till it goes all wrong
Now you're going, then you're gone
Same old story, same old song
