[Verse 1]
It was the same back then
And it will be again
With the same shoddy disguise as the last time
You never knew that you
Would have something to do
With the long arm of the law and the old ones

[Verse 2]
It was the same back then
You discovered a ten
With a strict night at the school for the new ones
You couldn't tell that you
Would have something to do
With the dust darkening down for the dead ones

[Chorus]
And you headed to the background
Eyes would never look forward
Ten times out of ten now
Things were looking up but then
Heads were gonna roll down
Quieter than the deep ocean
I was in the background
Oh
[Verse 3]
It was the same back then
And it happened again
With the new look in the eyes of the old ones
You never knew that you
Would have something to do
With the long arm of the law and the dead ones

[Chorus]
And you headed to the background
Eyes would never look forward
Ten times out of ten now
Things were looking up but then
Heads were gonna roll here
Quieter than the deep ocean
I was in the background
Holding on for dear life

[Outro]
And I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decided, but I do know
I, I never decide
