[Part I - Intro]

(Instrumental)

[Part II - Same Old Story]

Sid was wild when he was a kid

Never quite understood why he did just what he did

Now he wonders why nobody likes him

Now he wonders why he can't get any respect

His is the same old story

(Yet another chapter in your book)

He fell flat in his moment of glory

(You try to turn away but you take a look)

Now he want us all to feel his sadness

(You cannot win the game if you go insane)

With all the junk spilling from his mouth of madness

Sid went high to the top of the mountain

Stood tall with the weight of the world upon his back

In a sea of money and power

Fought for his name until the final hour

His is the same old story

(Yet another chapter in your book)

He fell flat in his moment of glory

(You try to turn away but you take a look)

Now he wants us all to feel his sadness

(You cannot win the game if you go insane)

With all the junk spilling from his mouth of madness

I used to be an honest man

I used to laugh

I used to cry

Now it's gone and I don't know why

No matter how hard I try

I can't lie to myself anymore

His is the same old story

(Yet another chapter in your book)

He fell flat in his moment of glory

(You try to turn away but you take a look)

Now he wants us all to feel his sadness

(You cannot win the game if you go insane)

With all the junk spilling from his mouth of madness

[Part III - You Don't Know]

Every story has two sides

But no one ever wants to hear mine

No no one ever wants to hear mine

Sometimes it's like I don't exist

I'm number one on everyone's most hated list

Tearing me down is something no one can resist

You don't know

What it's like to sink so far below

The truth is there

I just need someone to show me where

I need someone to lead me there

There was time when I knew love

But I can't remember when it was

No I can't remember when it was

I couldn't have been born this way

It's been building up day after day

A little bit of pain can go a long way

You don't know

What it's like to sink so far below

The truth is there

I just need someone to show me where

I need someone to lead me there

[Part IV - Judge]

This is the story of a guy named Sid

Who lost his heart when he was just a kid

Don't judge him on the things that he did

This is the story of a guy named Sid

Just how far will any one man go

Can you turn back at the end of the road

Feel the shock as your reality grows

Just how far will any one man go

[Part V - Sid's Boys Choir]

I was born and then I rose

It came to me and then I froze

I lost my voice I couldn't see

I felt the sweat pour out of me

The limelight dimmed and turn me in

All my deeds turned to sin

The flesh upon my skin began to crawl

[Part VI - Change]

I can't help the way that I am

Cause it was you that made me

You never offered to lend a hand

So I did it for myself

I did it for myself

I know there's something missing

Got to find a way to make it happen

It's been such a long long time

Got to find a way to clean up my mind

It's time to change my story

The leaves on my tree have withered and died

A long long time ago

But the tree is not dead the voice in my head says

I've a long long way to go

Whether for you and whether for me

All is not lost if I can let it be

All is not lost if I can let it be

All is not lost

It's time to change my story

(If you find a way you can save the day)

To get back my moment of glory

(Jump into the fire and burn away)

Everybody can you feel my madness?

(There is nothing left for you to say)

Take it all in and shout it to the masses

It's all right!
