Some Things Never Change

I went back my home town

To the school and walked around

And the way it felt

Seemed just like yesterday

From the cradle to the grave

Some say we never change

No matter how we try

We try to rearrange

And like father so like son

It's as if wife we're both as one

Just as if our fate was... it was pre-ordained

In some countries far from here

You know the one's we used to fear

Are they waiting to return to

Those old evil ways

You can take a correspondence course

Be single, married or divorced

You can psychoanalyze your brain

But you know some things will never change

And what will all those people do

When Russia starts anew

They'll just stand in line

All under a different name

You can listen to those brainwash tapes

Take a Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist faith

But I'm sure it's gonna be in vain

'Cos you know some things will never change

And if their theories all come true

Then there's nothin' we can do

Where the future lies

Well it's not to hard to tell

But after all is said and done

And the world lives as one

You can bid those old taboo's

A fond fare well

Yes a long fare well

A very long fare well
