Same Old Story Songtext
von Public Image Ltd

Some people got more kinks than have kinks
Cry for attention like cracks in the pavement
All of this pointed like perfect TV
When you′re sowing the wind up, you'll reap the whirlwind

Your flexible nature serving all purpose
Like a terrible artist, you′re using all shadows
The king of this castle is pulling new shanks
Yielding the lilies and all of them fakes

Who gets the mansions?
We get the ruins
Same old story
Who gets the mansions?
We get the ruins
Same old story
Same old story

Typical tragic, small house and small street
Narrow the outlook, small minded complete
The emperor's new clothes get clearer and clearer
Dictate to the fingers that tighten the trigger


Who gets the mansions?
We get the ruins
Same old story
Who gets the mansions?
We get the ruins
Same old story
Same old story
Same old story

And the king of this castle is pulling new shanks
Life is a poison, it begins at home
Pride is a trinket, security blanket
Tangle the spiders and the webs that weave, weave

Who gets the mansions?
Same old story
We get the ruins
Who gets the mansions?
We get the ruins
Same old story
Who gets the mansions?
We get the ruins
Same old story
