Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She asked me what's happenin'
Hmm, they said the rain
Then you asked me what's goin' on
And I miss the time
[Verse 2]
Time is movin' on
Pretty soon I'll be  gone
I can't find the bread
Am I gonna have enough to eat
Got no strength to go on back to work tomorrow
Gotta make enough bread to buy the bread
To have enough strength to go on back to work another day
Yeah, anyway
[Verse 3]
The same old same old me, same old stuff
Same old workin' on never enough
Full blooded, get down
[Verse 4]
The same old me, the same old stuff
Same old workin' on never enough
Yeah
[Verse 5]
She asked me what's happenin'
Say you never do
Same old me, same old stuff
Same old workin' on never enough
She asked me what's goin' on and what's happenin'
I don't know
[Verse 6]
Same old me, same old stuff
Same old workin' on never enough
Keepin' up
Keepin' on, keepin' on
Keep on keepin' on
Soon enough you'll be gone
Keep on, keepin' on
Hmm
[Verse 7]
Same old me, same old stuff
Same old me, same old stuff
Same old workin' on never enough
On makin' enough
[Verse 8]
Baby, that's where it's at though
Same old me, same old stuff
Same old workin' on never enough
Same old me
Same old stuff
Same old way
Same old stuff
Same old workin' on never enough
Same old stuff
