Nothin's Gonna Change - Labi Siffre

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 … it wasn’t worth the cost

How did we make it…

It’s a mystery

We’re getting better…

That’s news to me

Are we defeated…

Huh!

Defeated like hell

We may be losers…

But we’ll never tell

Nothin’s Gonna Change

But we don’t give in

Nothin’s Gonna Change

Take it on the chin

Nothin’s Gonna Change

Keep that silly grin

Nothin’s 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

It’s 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
