ALWAYS THE SAME* - Kings Of Leon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Potentially called It Don't Matter - unsure as of yet.
New Kings Of Leon song from the forthcoming 6th album. Has only been played once
at the BottleRock festival at Napa, California. I used this video footage to tab the song:

Lyrics: (unconfirmed)
Such a smile -----
Leave like a wine (whine ?)
But it don't matter to me
Take your time before I burn
But it don't matter to me
Let's pave the way----------
But it don't matter to me
I could fall ( ?)-----------------
But it don't matter to me
Cos' it's always the same
And I'm always the same
Uncle Sam they ----- bad man
It don't matter to me
I don't know where I am gonna go
But it don't matter to me
You agree to spend my-----
It don't matter to me
Cos' it's always the same
And I am always the same
I am not a man, everybody say
But it don't matter to me
I better be on my seat
But It don't matter to me
I beg my heart, tell me why
it don't matter to me no no
I put a shine in your eye
It don't matter to me
Cos it's always the same
And I am always the same
