Oh, no, not this confused again
Oh, no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Why can't you see what's going on?
I know you'd never admit
You would ever be to blame
Everything's a game to you
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
I cannot help you
It's much too late

Oh, no, not this confused again
Oh, no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

There's always a reason why it happened
You never never did anything wrong, but it
It just seem to fall apart
But you're taking it all too hard

Now that it's dark, all of your fears
Like shadows creeping around
You're much too scared to look down
And it's lonely out on your own
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
But I still miss you
I keep it to myself

Oh, no, not this confused again
Oh, no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh, no, not this confused again
Oh, no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh, no, not this confused again
Oh, no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh, no, not this confused again
Oh, no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Genesis

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967. The most commercially successful line-up includes keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent several significant changes in musical style over its career, from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.

Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
