    The first verse is about someone I don't care for very much. The second verse is about me and my simple view of life.

    Story Behind the Song
    In the first verse, I was frustrated with someone who I could not express my feelings to and it came out in an abstract, unpleasant description.The second verse is about me and I'm saying "I haven't changed". I recorded it twice with acoustic guitar and vocal and then added a bass track. A few friends added tracks to it and it sounded pretty elaborate but I settled for a simple mix.

    Lyrics
    The Same Old Song
    Words and Music by Ian Ballard Copyright 2003

    Close your mouth you kind of look like
    You're missing a chromosome
    Nothing I'm saying should be shocking you
    But I guess that's why you're all alone
    I guess that's why you're all alone
    You're gentle as a wolverine
    And quiet as a hydrogen bomb
    Friendly as a rattlesnake
    Slithering along, singing the same old song

    It's a strange life, yes indeed
    By the time you figure it out you are dead
    But I'm confused as hell so I guess that's good news
    I've got a lot of good years ahead
    I've got a lot of good years ahead
    Sometimes things just seem right
    Then you wake up and it's all wrong
    Perspective changes in the blink of an eye
    I've been here all along
    Singing the same old song
