Aficionado - The Same Original Idea lyrics

[Verse 1] It's all been flooded out with noise Can we find a resolution? I think any chance has been destroyed Let's not have false illusions You're strapped to your chair The water's rising up It's tinted red with all our blood We smile and nod at all the things we've done Too many people are talking, so I can't hear one They said I'll give you the choice Said you can live or you can die If you can tell me the difference Which one's wrong and which one's right They said step right up, step right up And when I did, and when I did [Chorus] It was a million and one of the same god damn thing It was overwhelming, so overwhelming It was a million and one of the same god damn thing It was underwhelming, so underwhelming [Verse 2] They said I'll give you a choice You can live or you can die If you can tell me the difference Which one's wrong and which one's right [Chorus] It was a million and one of the same god damn thing It was overwhelming, so overwhelming It was a million and one of the same god damn thing It was underwhelming, so underwhelming [Bridge] When there's a million of the same original idea It's not original anymore When there's a million of the same meaningful idea It's not so meaningful anymore We're drowning in images of white picket fences (When there's a million of the same meaningful idea) Despite your defenses You've come to find you were defenseless after all (It's not so meaningful after all) We're drowning in images of white picket fences (It's not meaningful) Despite your defenses You've come to find were defenseless after all (After all) We're drowning in images of white picket fences (It's not meaningful) Despite your defenses You've come to find were defenseless after all Despite all your defenses You've come to find yourself defenseless Come to find yourself defenseless after all You've come to find yourself defenseless after all
