Same fuckin story
Same fuckin story
People slippin' in the rain
I watch them get up again
It makes me feel like I can too
Hey, hey, hey, yea
Just when I get off the ground
Youre back tryin' to put me down
Like some simpleton you can use
Hey, hey
Well, it's the same ol' fuckin story
With your two different sets of rules
The same ol' fuckin story
One for me, two for you
It's the same ol' fuckin story
I have found
It's the same ol' fuckin story
All around, yeah
Still some glory in my eyes
Much to everyone's surprise
After everything you put me through
Yeah, well
Friends tell me you've been around
Big fish in a big ol' town
Gobble up all in one fair swoop
Yeah
Well, it's the same ol' fuckin story
With your two different sets of rules
The same ol' fuckin story
One for me, two for you
It's the same ol' fuckin story
I have found
It's the same ol' fuckin story
All around, yeah
I've got my feet on tied to the beat, yeah
Still got my feet on tied to the beat, yeah
Still got my feet on tied to the beat, yeah
Still got my feet on tied to the beat, yeah
Still some glory in my eyes
Much to everyone's surprise
After everything you put me through
Yeah, well
Friends tell me you've been around
Big fish in a big ol' town
Gobble up all in one fell swoop
Yeah
Well, it's the same ol' fuckin story
With your two different sets of rules
The same ol' fuckin story
One for me, two for you

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
