Same Old Song And Dance
Aerosmith · Get Your Wings
Coincidental murder with nothing to show
The judge constipation will go to his head
His wife's aggravation you're soon enough dead
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
Gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
No smoothy face lawyer to getcha undone
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
you could look but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story same old song and dance
Fate comes a knockin'
Doors start lockin'
Your old time connection
Change your direction
You ain't gonna change it
Can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when
It's all the same to you my friend
When you're low down and dirty from walkin' the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy no one to meet
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song same old song and dance
Same Old Song And Dance
Released on Aerosmith's 1989 album Get Your Wings, "Same Old Song And Dance" stands as a quintessential example of the band's hard rock evolution during the late 1980s. The track features the signature blend of Tom Hamilton's driving basslines and Steven Tyler's soaring vocals, characteristic of the era's power metal sound. While the song shares thematic elements with Aerosmith's earlier work, it reflects a shift toward a more polished, radio-friendly production style that defined their discography in the late eighties. As a staple of their live performances, the recording captures the band's ability to deliver anthemic rock songs that resonated with audiences worldwide, cementing their status as one of the most influential hard rock acts of the decade.
