Lyrics
Nothing's Gonna Change
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life can be funny, sometimes a shame
Making the same mistakes again and again
It isn't easy being a man
For a woman it's harder
Try it in the Sudan
And when you're winning and when you've won
You turn around, your problems just begun
And when you're losing and when you've lost
You turn around, was it worth the cost
[chorus]
How did we make it
It's a mystery
We're getting better
that's news to me
Are we defeated
Defeated like hell
We may be losers
But you'll never tell
Nothing's gonna change
We don't give in
Nothing's gonna change
Take it on the chin
Nothing's gonna change
That silly grin
Nothing's gonna change
On the way to win
World wars are over, one and two
Others are raging still just like bamboo
The big bang is with us, here to stay
Unless the Martians come and take us away
My TV dinner shows a starving face
Making demands again outside my place
We strangle nature, the birds and trees,
Forgetting, we need the trees to breathe.
[chorus x2]
