lyrics

We spent way too long, with the same old songs
And now the feeling's gone, so we all move on
It's an honest day to day, but a shit parade
And we wanna make a change, but we always overstay

And I don't want, I don't want that, does anyone want that
Like a tail in a mousetrap, does anyone want that
Anyone but you

Now anyone can say that they're feeling fine
But not everyone can stay fine for all the time
We spent way too long, with the same old songs
And now the feeling's gone, so we all move on

And I don't want, I don't want that, does anyone want that
Like a leg in a bear trap, does anyone want that
There's a running bet upstairs, but we're playing the cold deck
Like a shock, winning upset, does anyone want that
Anyone but you

It's your waterloo, it's the honest truth, it's the perfect ruse
We can see right through, to the real you, still we all assume
We were born to lose

Dream Gig
by Dead Bars

supported by 9 fans who also own “Waterloo”

I don't think I've heard a bad Dead Bars song. "Emergency" is the Terminator 2 of songs about anxiety and panic attacks. Don't miss this band when they come to your town. Erik Button

The White Album EP
by The All Brights

supported by 8 fans who also own “Waterloo”

This EP is a straight burner from start to finish. Did I just find my new favorite band? Seriously, great, funny, catchy songwriting. Great vocals by all members. Great production and musicianship. A true 5 Star record. Jonathan Swilper
