I'm eating dirt and it doesn't hurt and I'm wrong again
It's the same old situation
My back is broke and the girl is gone and I'm up in smoke
It's the same old situation
With a dollar dance and a lonely laugh and a heart of glass
It's the same old situation
With the saddest song and a pretty face all around the world
It's the same old situation
Oh, get me out of this life
Oh, get me out of this scene
I'm seeing red and my god is dead and I come again
It's the same old situation
My heart is stone and my voice is blown on the telephone
It's the same old situation
Oh, here she comes
All down the line
With a bitter moon and a black balloon and racist friend
It's the same old situation
With your politics and your benefits you're gonna save the world
It's the same old situation
Oh, get me out of this life
Oh, get me out of this scene
Oh, get me out of my head, oh
Gonna fly the flag in a foreign land working for the man
It's the same old situation
All your hypocrites with your rubber lips and the news at six
It's the same old situation
You light a match and you strike a pose and your mirror's jammed with the living dead
Like a passenger with a lust for love on a chartless course and you won't be told
It's the same old situation
Well my bags are packed and my smile is cracked and I want you back
It's the same old situation
Same old situation
Same old situation
Oh, get me out of this life
Oh, get me out of this scene
Oh, get me out of my head
