A fat groove portrait of a character's folly of trying to reinvent themselves without looking at the unacknowledged stuff that will just bite them on the bum
lyrics
New hat, new shoes
New hair, but nothin to lose
New phone, new tone
New TV, but there’s nothin’ on
New way, no way
New tune, new name
New game, new tool
New show, but the same old fool
New Friends, new lens
New look, new leaf in my book
New boots, new suit
New me, new tree, but bears no fruit
New You, new year,
New direction, new career
New class, new school
New face, but the same old fool
New cut, new style
New teeth, new smile
New ‘stash, news flash
New car, hoping it don’t crash
New socks, new stick
New block, new trick,
New wool, new pull,
New eyes, too cool, but the same old fool
