Lirik lagu Aerosmith - Same Old Song and Dance dan Terjemahan
Secara lirik, lagu ini mengkritik sifat kekecewaan hidup yang berulang dan ketidakjujuran yang dihadapi orang-orang dalam hubungan, bisnis, dan masyarakat. Ungkapan "lagu dan tarian lama yang sama" mengacu pada sifat peristiwa-peristiwa ini yang bersifat siklus dan dapat diprediksi, di mana individu menemukan diri mereka terjebak dalam lingkaran penipuan dan frustrasi. Nada lagunya sinis dan sadar diri, dengan fokus pada rasa frustrasi karena dibohongi dan dimanipulasi, sekaligus mengakui pola seperti itu tidak bisa dihindari.
Lirik Terjemahan
Get yourself a cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder, with nothing to show
With the judge, constipation will go to his head
And 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 smooth-face lawyer to get you 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 (Uh)
It's the same old story, same old story, same old song and dance
Fate comes a-knocking, doors start locking
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 walking 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 story, same old song and dance, yeah
