Boy, it's all the same
Always in the bar
You're never gonna change
Your days wasted in the bar
Boy, it's all the same
Always in the bar
You're never gonna change
Your days wasted in the bar
A massive old teak telly is on the wall
A roach climbs up through the corridor
On worn out Formica table tops
An old man sleeps, he's no place to go
Boy, it's all the same
Always in the bar
You're never gonna change
Your days wasted in the bar
A horse race, card games, drinks 'n' chain-smoking
Debts set the pace for a monochrome performance
Drinking, early teens sat to wait to live their own way
The bar's name's a symbol that the future never came there
Actors are a bunch of extras
Blunt relics of a by-gone era
The truth leaks out where you least expected
There's no escape, there's no hope, there's no way
Boy, it's all the same
Always in the bar
You're never gonna change
Your days wasted in the bar
A horse race, card games, drinks 'n' chain-smoking
Debts set the pace for a monochrome performance
Drinking early teens sat to wait to live their own way
The bar's name's a symbol that the future never came there
Boy, it's all the same
Always in the bar
You're never gonna change
Your days wasted in the bar
Boy, it's all the same
Always in the bar
You're never gonna change
Your days wasted in the bar
