Barenaked Ladies Everything Old Is New Again
Learn to lose
It? s easier that way
We? ve paid our dues
But we can? t make life pay
All across the world, people going mad
In their mother? s cars, kids are feeling sad
That? s how it is, and I? ll see you later
Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
Now that I? m back with you again
We hug and we kiss
We sit and make lists
We drink and I bandage your wrists
Wasted youth there wasn? t much to waste
Down to the bone and still losing weight
With all the wishing in the world glistening in her eyes
But when I say I love her, she thinks I? m telling lies
Is it all lost no, we never had it
Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
All of our fears come true again
Recycle reuse, resent and refuse
Our parent? s ideals and views
She thinks the afterlife might
Just be where the action is
With high schools built like prisons
She can? t find a way to live
Moved back home to fill the empty nest
Afraid to roam in love with second best
Somewhere in the world, she? s hosting her own show
And everyone she questions never seems to know
Who they are where they are going?
Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
Now that I? m without you again
I wake up and eat, I go back to sleep
And let my nightmares repeat
All across the world, people going mad
