'New' Years

Here's to a New Year, an old year, the same year
     So much like last year, just slap another name there

Here's to old subjects that gain new stories
Here's to old stresses that found new worries
Here's to new polish to covers old stains
Here's to the old friends who gained new names
Here's to old problems solved by new inventions
that solved the new problems that came from the old ones
Here's to old attitude, changed by new vision
Here's to old objectives, that gave you new mission
Here's to old pleasure, renewed once again
Here's to old immorals renewed still as sins
And here's to the future of last years demise
Here's to the promise and those sweet wishful lies
Here's to the tommorow, a nostalgic forward view
that only leaves us with this new sense of old Deja Vu.

Here's to a New Year that smells just like last year,
    An eternal loop, echoing, you just can't go past here
