Labi Siffre - Nothin´s Gonna Change (1988) lyrics

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
