about

Very proud of this one, I admit. Great lyrics from Ken Jason. The music came out just the way I heard it.

lyrics

You’re this - You’re that - You’re thin - You’re fat
It’s the same old story
You’re in a category
You’re black - You’re white - You’re left - You’re right
It’s the same old story
You’re in a category

BRIDGE: All the pretty people in those pretty magazines
You’re a part of the picture as long as you fit that scene
All the lonely people lookin’ for the big dot.com
Hangin’ their dreams on the screen’till hope is gone

You’re weak - You’re strong - You’re right - You’re wrong
It’s the same old story
You’re in a category

---solo---

BRIDGE2: All the white trash in the ‘burbs ain’t got no soul
They spend their lives starin’ into a big black hole
All the home boys in the hood get no respect
When you’re outside lookin’ in, what d’ya expect

You’re east - You’re west - You’re worst - You’re best
It’s the same old story
You’re in a category
You’re grey - You’re blonde - You’re off - You’re on
It’s the same old story
You’re in a category
You’re young - You’re old - You’re bought - You’re sold
It’s the same old story
You’re in a category
You’re this - You’re that - You’re thin - You’re fat
It’s the same old story
You’re in a category
