The Roots - So Long, so Wrong lyrics

[Chorus] We've done this so long, so long How come we keep doing it wrong? We've done this so long, so long How come we keep doing it wrong? [Verse One: Betty Wright] It's not your first time, Lord knows it ain't mine And we ain't kids, we don't have to hide what we did It's all the more reason, we oughta be seasoned How can we show them the way if this is how we stay? [Chorus] [Verse Two: Betty Wright] Why can't you comprehend? We keep going back where we've been It didn't work then, so why do it over again? Wanna make this plain, brother you must love pain Well I've had enough of that ride, time to step aside [Chorus] [Bridge: Betty Wright] Folks will be watching Cause they don't wanna miss a thing Hard to keep myself from falling It's getting too hard to keep trying Under the scope, magnifying Under their scrutiny (scrutiny) all this mutiny (mutiny) About you and me, they should let us be [Chorus]
