Nothing Ever Changes

What do we really need
In this life
I look at myself sometimes
And it's not right
People out there with no
Food at night
And we say we care, but we don't
So we all lie
What if there's more to this
And one day
We become what we do
Not what we say
And we end up in
All the shit that they're in
And roles are reversed
And it were different
And we were the ones
With nothing to eat
And we were the ones
With blood in our streets
We were the ones
With all the offspring
And they were the ones
Just watching on TV
We were the ones
Broke down and torn
With our life on our back
And our wife in our arms
And they were the ones
Like oh that's so sad
We were the ones
Like OH...
Nothing ever changes
The only thing I know
Nothing ever changes
Looking down this road
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Look at your dreams
And your intentions
How selfish it is
For you to mention
Turning your thousands
Into millions
Marry a model
Have some children
Well they've got dreams too
I can imagine
Like what if it won't come back
To kill them
Sleeping at night
Without a murder
In some little town
You've never heard of
Now look at your nightmares
All of your worst fears
Your car and your house
And your girl and it stops there
All these things
You can't imagine loosing
Like oh no
What if it happens to me
Well what you've got
They've never had
To be like you
To have your chance
To be like you
Before they're gone
Nothing ever changes
At least that's how we act
Like nothing ever changes
Like god has got our backs
And nothing ever changes
I'm looking down this road
And all I see is pain, yes
Maybe we need more
Shoes on our feet
Maybe we need more
Clothes and TV's
Maybe we need more
Cash and jewerly
Or maybe we don't know
What we need
Maybe we need
To want to fix this
Maybe stop talking
Maybe start listening
Maybe we need
To look at this world
Less like a square
And more like a circle
Maybe just maybe
God's not unfair
Maybe were all his kids
And he's up there
Maybe he loves us
For all our races
Maybe he hates us
When were all so racist
Maybe he sees us
When we don't care
And it's Heaven right here
But is Hell over there
And maybe the meek
Will inherit the earth
'Cause it was written before
So everything changes
Nothing stays the same
And everything changes
And if you feel ashamed
Maybe you should change this
Before it gets too late
Maybe you should change this
My brother we're standing at the gate
Everything changes
Maybe you should change this
Everything changes
Everything changes
