Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I said it once in the hall
I said it loud to the wall
Same old faces, same old script
Same old promise, same old slip
You hand me paper, I hand back doubt
Crowd gets split when the deals come out
Big talk rusts on a silver plate
Then the door locks shut too late
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it fair
I call it wear
A room full of thumbs
And no one there
[Chorus]
Doesn't work again
Doesn't work again
We keep on circling the same fence
Doesn't work again
No, it doesn't work again
(doesn't work again)
[Verse 2]
One vote, two lies, three more delays
New name, same machine, same glaze
You dress the bruise in a fresh blue tie
Then ask me why I don't buy
I watched the line go crooked fast
Watched every promise bite the dust
If the crowd gets heard, why do I feel
Like the whole damn game is rigged and sealed?
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it change
I call it strain
A thousand hands
And none in frame
[Chorus]
Doesn't work again
Doesn't work again
We keep on circling the same fence
Doesn't work again
No, it doesn't work again
(doesn't work again)
[Bridge]
Maybe I want more than a name on a box
More than a speech and a set of locks
More than a flag on a cracked-up wall
More than a choice that don't choose at all
[Final Chorus]
Doesn't work again
Doesn't work again
We keep on circling the same fence
Doesn't work again
No, it doesn't work again
(doesn't work again)
Doesn't work again
Doesn't work again
We keep on circling the same fence
Doesn't work again
No, it doesn't work again
(doesn't work again)
