Same Mistake
[Verse 1]
The other room, comatose by all the screens
Blown away by another perfect scene
I don’t care
I’m so bored, all the real things can’t compete
Hollywood, paint my day so incomplete
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And every street I walk and every place I sit
And every film I saw, almost ruined it
And all the shiny things that the picture brings Turn a normal day into a cheap cliché
[Chorus]
You know what, you know what, you know what, you know what [echoes in background]
Whatever we wanna get, we never get
[Verse 2]
Keep on buying all the things that we don't need
Just to impress all the ones that we don’t meet
I don’t care
Just regret that I acted so damn fake
You know what, you have made the same mistake
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all the cigarettes, and all the talking heads Buying happiness, it just never rests
And all the drugs we take so we can sleep awake
And watch the colors fade, broken masquerade
[Chorus]
You know what, you know what, you know what, you know what [echoes in background]
Whatever we wanna get, we never get
Whatever we wanna get, we never get
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all the cigarettes, and all the talking heads Buying happiness, it just never rests
And all the drugs we take so we can sleep awake
And watch the colors fade, broken masquerade
[Chorus]
You know what, you know what, you know what, you know what [echoes in background]
Whatever we wanna get, we never get
Whatever we wanna get, we never get
