[Intro]
(Upbeat, slightly chaotic guitar riff starts, followed by a single drumstick tap)
[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', sun was shinin' bright
Made my coffee, weak, just like last night
And the night before, and the week before that
Sipped it slowly, tasted kinda flat
Checked my email, spam folder overflowin'
Deleted twenty, knew more were showin'
Hit refresh again, like a digital tic
Hopin' for a win, but it's just the same old trick
[Chorus]
Doin' the same thing, hopin' it will change
Yeah, that's the definition, rearrange!
It's absurdity, wrapped in pure insanity
This loop I'm runnin'? Utter inanity!
Doin' the same thing, hopin' it will change!
(Insanity! Insanity!)
[Verse 2]
Called the help desk, got put on hold
Listened to that muzak, feelin' bold?
Or just plain stupid? Waited forty-three
Minutes exactly, just like history
Told the robot voice my problem, clear and slow
Got transferred sideways, where'd the humans go?
Back to square one, listen to the beep
While my frustration takes another leap
[Chorus]
Doin' the same thing, hopin' it will change
Yeah, that's the definition, rearrange!
It's absurdity, wrapped in pure insanity
This loop I'm runnin'? Utter inanity!
Doin' the same thing, hopin' it will change!
(Insanity! Insanity!)
[Bridge]
(Key change, slightly frantic)
They say try harder! Put your back into it!
But if the method's broken, buddy, you just screw it!
More force, more effort, bangin' on the door
That leads nowhere! Whatcha doin' it for?
Meaningless motion, utterly unsound
Spinnin' my wheels while stuck deep in the ground!
(Tempo increases slightly, frantic guitar solo)
[Verse 3]
Tried that new diet, cabbage soup galore
Felt awful Tuesday, just like times before
But maybe Friday! Maybe *this* will click!
Ignored the grumblin', ignored the feelin' sick
Stared at the puzzle, piece just wouldn't fit
Turned it left, turned it right, threw a little fit
Picked it up again, tried the *exact* same spot
Convinced this time... yeah, probably not!
[Chorus]
Doin' the same thing, hopin' it will change
Yeah, that's the definition, rearrange!
It's absurdity, wrapped in pure insanity
This loop I'm runnin'? Utter inanity!
Doin' the same thing, hopin' it will change!
(Insanity! Insanity!)
[Outro]
(Song breaks down, instruments drop out one by one except a simple, repetitive drum b**t and a single, slightly out-of-tune piano note hit repeatedly)
Same thing... same thing... same thing... same thing...
(B**t fades, final dissonant piano note hangs)
...expecting change. Heh. Right.
