[intro] Been through this before the same familiarity it occurs more and more when nothings what it ought to be There's a sign on the door I don't understand a word but don't know what it's for It's all a little absurd [bridge] They say I can lie to myself if it keeps me in my place It's become my personal hell But they assure me I'll be ok Be sure to follow all the rules They will design the fruitful life They'll be telling you what is cool We'll all live in Lord of the Flies Their here to tell us what to do We'll be thankful before they're done Stray off on some other pursuit they won't hesitate to use their guns [bridge] So, I've been here before and I'm not the only one Wondering how they got this far never having to hold our tongue It must be the calling of something that made us go here or another way Tossing and turning in my bad dreams worried about what they might say [guitar solo] I made it to the other side (to the other side) standing up from the hopeless floor because I need not fear high tide I've been through this before (through this before) oh yah I've been through this before (through this before) oh oh yah been here before oh ho ho oh yah I've been through this before (through this before) ooooh oh yah been through this before (through this before) [outro] ooooh oh yah been through this before (through this before) [outro]
