Somethings Never Change

Johnny got a brand new job

And a shiny new company car

His boss really likes him

As he pats him on the back and says

"Son you're gonna go real far"

Johnny says he'll do whatever it takes

Gonna climb that ladder until it breaks

He can already see his room with a view

And to get what he wants

There's nothin' he won't do

Seems like everything's goin' so right

But johnny still can't sleep at night

Some things will never change

It's just the nature of the beast

Now he never gets enough

Of what he don't need

And he's too damn blind to see

Some things will never change

He bought a house in a neighborhood

He only used to drive through

He's movin' up, livin' large

Don't care who he's gotta lie to

Now he's got no plans, only one-night stands

Cause to him, love only has victims

It's a disease of the soul and it's hard to let go

And johnny's got all the symptoms

He thinks the wall street journal

Holds the meaning of life

But johnny still can't sleep at night

Some things will never change

It's just the nature of the beast

Now he never gets enough

Of what he don't need

And he's too damn blind to see

Some things will never change

Ooh yeah, never change

Ooh yeah

Now you've lost the war

But you've won the fight

Johnny can you sleep at night?

Some things will never change

It's just the nature of the beast

And we never get enough

Of what we don't need

And we're too damn blind to see

Some things will never change

As they come starvin' to the feast

Now we never get enough

Of what we don't need

We're too damn blind to see

Oh some things will never change

Yeah

Oh they'll never change

Yeah yeah
