Same as It Ever Was

It's the same as it ever was Nothing changed because nothing ever does We're lost in a desert we're hungry as hell And we can't find prey At least we can say something shines on us every night In a way we're animals, innocent, and criminal, in a way And we get but a lick of respect You forget there was nothing there before And the mess that we made won't clean itself up It'll lay there forever If we left an impression I guess That's something to be proud about In a way we're animals, innocent, and criminal, in a way
