The Kinks - Repetition lyrics

You get up in the morning And every single day Is just a repetition It's always been that way You live alone inside your head Incommunicado, in the land of living dead Each day's a repetition Of the one that went before Like watching an old movie You can't sit through anymore Why don't you kick the habit And walk right out that door? From all the repetition Day after day All the repetition It's always been that way It's in your head, it's in your eyes You're boring and it's no surprise With all the repetition Day after day All the repetition They say it's time to start all over And call it a day But you go right back where you started Day after day You go right back to where you started Day after day, after day, after day, after day You look in the mirror Is anybody there? It's only a reflection That doesn't really care You're a product of your time Looking hard for something, but you never saw the sign Lock inside a prison But that's where you wanna be Stuck in solitary And you've thrown away the key You say you want your freedom But you don't wanna get away Then you wake up, it's time for you To start another day With all the repetition, day after day, all the repetition All the repetition day after day Another chance, another day You know it's time to get away from all the repetition Day after day How long you gonna sit and wait You're getting on it's getting late They say it's time to start all over And call it a day But you go right back where you started Day after day You go right back to where you started Day after day, after day, after day, after day
