Lyrics Same Thing - Barenaked Ladies

What does it mean to wake out of dream and
Be wearing some one else's shorts?
I've been around the block, at least one my bike
I was prepared for the news but not for a full-scale war

Found me an answer, In a grocery store
Found me an answer in the form of an old man with a cartigan on
This guys got thirty years one me but he stops and smiles
Just to say "hello,
Didn't I see you on TV?"

Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Charlie Brown went through

I'm in a comic store
Looking for some mistakenly-priced comic I could make a fortune off
In walks the Fantastic Four,
I say "Don't go,
That last issue was cool"

Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same
Same thing

These things all end
Who asked you anyway?
You have to bend
Who asked you anyway?

I'm in a thunderstorm
Staying out from under trees, never holding golf clubs
But still seem to be getting struck by lightning
Must be something in my veins
My weathered veins

Must've been the same thing
