The Baboon Show - Same Old Story
[Intro]
Bm A D Em D A G
[Verse 1]
Bm
One day when I was fifteen years,
A D
The autumn thirty three
Em D
My dad came home and he said,
A G
Who will now pay for mom, you and me
Bm
He'd been fired from his
A D
Work that day, him and many more
Em
Now recession was here
D
Times of anger and fear
A G
He never got to work anymore
Bm
Mom and dad they were fighting a lot,
A D
And dad he drank to forget
Em
When he moved out
D
He hugged me tight,
A G
He was crying with regret
[Chorus]
Em Bm A
Same old story, like yesterday
A G D
They live while all the others have to pay
Em Bm
They take it all from us
D G
We're just numbers in their heads
D A
The more they abuse us
G
The more we're seeing red
[Verse 2]
Bm
Way back in the golden years
A D
When things were said and done
Em D
In the industry at the factory,
A G
There was work for everyone
Bm
We were two hundred workers, we did our best
A D
Working in gases and dust
Em
Though inside we knew for
D
The privileged few,
A G
They faced us with disgust
Bm
All across our wealthy land
A D
It came from the worker's hand
Em
I did better for sure
D
But I can't ignore
A G
That the price I payed was grand
[Chorus]
Em Bm A
Same old story, like yesterday
A G D
They live while all the others have to pay
Em Bm
They take it all from us
D G
We're just numbers in their heads
D A
The more they abuse us
G
The more we're seeing red
[Solo]
Bm A D Em D A G
Bm A D Em D A G
[Chorus]
Em Bm A
Same old story, no good news at all
A G D
They win and we lose as we fall
Em Bm
The people must unite
D G
To rewrite our history
D A G
To put an end to their slavery
[Outro]
N.C. (Verse)
In welfare or depression
We're always the ones let down
They keep saying one thing
What the future will bring
But we know that day won't come
Now listen to these words I say,
Stand up raise your fist
Our banner red
Shows the Way ahead,
It's our duty to resist
Even though I'm old and grey
I never will adjust
May the struggle live,
there is more to give,
Cause the future belongs to us
