Nothins Gonna Change Lyrics

(1988)

 

 

 Life can be funny 

 Sometimes a shame 

 Making the same mistakes again and again 

 It isnt easy being a man 

 For a woman its harder 

 Try it in the Sudan 

 

 And when youre winning and when youve won 

 You turn around ... your problems just begun 

 And when youre losing and when youve lost 

 You turn around ... it wasnt worth the cost 

 

 How did we make it... 

 Its a mystery 

 Were getting better... 

 Thats news to me 

 Are we defeated... 

 Huh! Defeated like hell 

 We may be losers... 

 But well never tell 

 

 Nothins Gonna Change 

 But we dont give in 

 Nothins Gonna Change 

 Take it on the chin 

 Nothins Gonna Change 

 Keep that silly grin 

 Nothins Gonna Change 

 The only way to win 

 

 World wars are over 

 One and two 

 Others are raging still just like brand new 

 The Big Band is with us 

 Its here to stay 

 Unless the Martians come to take it away 

 

 My TV dinner shows a starving face 

 The kicked a man to death outside my place 

 We strangle nature 

 We murder the trees 

 Forgetting we need the trees to breathe
