Hang your head... x 4
Some things never change x2
Hang your head... x2
I saw the news today, oh boy!
(Hang your head!)
A thousand starry skies we've seen before
(Hang your head!)
Small minds play at some big time games,
and everybody else pays.
Make no mistake, they're on the take;
They like to keep it that way.
Some things never change (x2)
I saw the light today, oh boy!
(Hang your head!)
It came on flashing bright, in red and blue.
(Hang your head!)
The man steps in with a terminal grin,
blue skies turn to gray;
Young men die and the children cry - why is
it always the same?
(Hang your head!)
Life must be eaten, or at least bitten into!
To get past the surface - The moment of truth!
You know when it's right - it's sweet deep inside.
It's real - and it's better that *some* things don't change!
Guitar solo
I saw the news today, oh boy!
(Hang your head!)
A thousand pictures of the lies we live.
(Hang your head!)
Small minds play at some big time games,
and everybody else pays.
(Hang your head!)
They're on the take, and they don't give breaks,
they like to take it away...
(Hang your head!) (x2)
Some things never change
(Hang your head!)
Some things never change
(Hang your head!)
Man steps in with a terminal grin,
blue skies turn to gray;
(Hang your head!)
Young men die, and the children cry - why is
it always the same?
(Hang your head!) x3
