    Lyrics
    You come around every now and then
    Your clothes are different,
    but you're still the same
    Why else would you come here?
    Scumbag on a mission

    You're telling me it's been a while
    Shit-eating grin and a brand new life
    Somebody let you come here
    Scumbag with permission

    Never though I'd see the like of you around this place
    What's the special occasion?
    Did you run outta friends?

    Hear you are comin' 'round again
    And things are different but you still pretend
    You gotta reason to come here
    Scumbag with ambition

    And now you're telling me that things have changed
    And you'll leaving in a couple days
    You're gonna change the world someday
    Scumbag with a vision

    It must be nice to know you got it all figured out
    But from where I'm sitting,
    It's the same thing again and again

    Have you ever stopped to think
    before you opened up your mouth?
    Because everytime you do,
    It's the same thing again and again
