Intro Monologue(Spoken by an old weathered male as in conversation) Let me ask you something Do you have the same kind of people or the same kinda situation turn up in your life When you think you just walked away from the trouble it turns up again But in some other way Do you keep attracting the same kind of relationship that can cause you harm Do you keep running around with the same kinda people you just walked away from Well here's something to think about.... Verse 1 Do you keep jumping on that merry go round But change your mount each time Do you hope that it will take you somewhere That you been trying to find Do you keep on whining About the love you chose Bout how your not happy And round and round it goes Chorus Always the same old story Bout how life done you wrong Do you ever get sick of hearing Your own tired old song Time to do something about it Stop banging the same old drum Instead of all the whinging Look up from where you've come Verse 2 (spoken monologue) When you were just a youngin, did something happen In your life, something that you couldn't control Did you see something that left a scar on your soul We're you craving for a love that just wasn't there Someone to hold you when you had a nightmare A part of you went missing and built itself a wall Its hiding there inside you, just waiting..... Just waiting.....for you to call Verse 3 When you focus on the problem Your stuck there in that story Ask yourself What do I need in this situation Why did I stay so long What part of me did I abandon What fear keeps driving me on Chorus Always the same old story Bout how life done you wrong Do you ever get sick of hearing Your own tired old song Time to do something about it Stop banging the same old drum Instead of all the whinging Look up from where you've come Verse 4 (spoken monologue) I'm gonna tell you something you might thinks a load of rot Might think I'm talking through my hat, But you'll know that I'm not Listen...... All these fears and anxieties that keep drifting through your life They aren't something, someone has done or said My friend.... they are all there in your head..... Yeah that's right.....if you wanna move forward In life You gotta work on what's happening inside you It's nothing outside, its all inside, Yeah it might be hard to face, To realise, its been in you all along... Come on, you can change your life You can have what you've dreamed of Face the truth and turn the page Close the chapters, close the book Then start writing a new one Final Chorus Always the same old story Bout how life done you wrong Do you ever get sick of hearing Your own tired old song Time to do something about it Stop banging the same old drum Instead of all the whinging Look up from where you've come Outro (spoken slowly) Yeah change the story that's written Become who you can be Be the light in the darkness The guide for you and me
