get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
coincidental murder, with nothing to show
with the judge, constipation will go to his head
and his wife`s aggravation, you`re soon enough dead
it`s the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it`s the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
[ alt: shady lookin` loser, you played with my gun ]
no smoothy face laywer to getcha undone
say love ain`t the same on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain`t gonna find it around
it`s the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it`s the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance
fate comes a-knockin`, doors start lockin`
your old time connection, change your direction
ain`t gonna change it, can`t rearrange it
can`t stand the pain when it`s all the same to you, my friend
when you`re low down and dirty, from walkin` the street
with your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
say love ain`t the same, on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain`t gonna find it around
