The Same Old Story

Guess I just needed to say something ……

        Well,  the  line's  been  drawn,  we'll  ignore  and  we'll  invade,

        It's  best  if  you  run,  or  get  on  your  knees  and  pray,

        After  midnight,  bullets  will  start  to  fly,

        And  the  bombs  will  fall,  and  light  up  the  sky.



        I  need  this  glory,  sounds  like  the  same  old  story.



        Well,  we'll  roll  through  your  streets,  victory  will  be  ours,

        No  point  resisting,  it's  written  in  the  stars,

        New  day  dawns,  and  you'll  be  one  of  us,

        Enjoy  our  ' freedom ' ,  no  need  to  make  a  fuss.



        I  need  this  glory,  sounds  like  the  same  old  story.



        Well,  now  we  won  the  war,  we  never  lose  the  peace,

        You'll  all  stay  in  line,  or  meet  our  secret  police,

        The  future's  bright,  'cause  you  know  we  are  right,

        Join  our  clan,  you  know  that's  my  plan. 



         I  need  this  glory,  sounds  like  the  same  old  story.


         I  need  this  glory,  sounds  like  the  same  old  story.

Thanks for this one Roger.... I'm so sad every day that we live in another era that repeats the same old sins of history. When will humans learn that we can all share and everyone will have enough?

Great song written about a horrific event. I never thought I’d see this kind of thing happen in the world.

Yep... Not much to say really... But I like how you've done it... Those chords in the chorus/refrain, moves the vibe from "triumphant" to "empty" as you deliver the line.
