1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 same ol’ England same ol’ boos
same ol’ nervousness same ol’ news
tabloid scaremongers mega expectation
negative philosophy ruining the nation

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 fans makin’ stands in the money divide
screamin’ out for passion hangin’ out for pride
flags hung songs sung in far way places
can’t hide disappointed sad painted faces

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 managers arrive and managers go
teams changin’ hands like your last Polo
every other country livin’ for the shirt
same ol’ England same ol’ hurt

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 same ol’ same ol’ same ol’ scene
same ol’ outcome an’ ya know what I mean
can’t quite label it or give it all a name
fear an’ anxiety runnin’ through the game

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 man on the terraces so few choices
apathy on the pitch listen to the voices
some say Champs League take away the glory
of playing for your country but it’s only half the story

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 same ol’ same ol’ same ol’ boos
same ol’ nervousness same ol’ news
same ol’ back-stabbin’ same ol’ expectation
same ol’ philosophy runing our nation
