I saw a dried up river and a rich man
|
Turning on a garden hose
|
I see a young man picking up a gun
|
I guess that's where the money goes, yeah
|
|
Am I just as good as a bad man
|
Sleeping while the rest are dying
|
Or am I just as bad as a good man
|
Saying there¡¯s no use of trying?
|
|
Ooh, tell me do you still believe
|
Ooh, everything that you read?
|
Till we learn to get together
|
And see who we really are
|
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
If nobody¡¯s gonna wake up
|
And start asking who's in charge
|
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
|
Ain¡¯t shit changing but diapers on babies
|
Get higher than the background singers singing, singing
|
Okay singing
|
|
Some people do it all for money
|
And some do it all for their love
|
Some do it all for the glory
|
'Cause nothing else they're thinking of
|
|
I saw a man in a four door truck
|
Complaining that the price is high
|
Like a well feed man with a spoon in his hand
|
Saying who ate all the apple pie, yeah
|
|
Ooh, tell me do you still believe
|
Ooh, everything that you read?
|
Till we learn to get together
|
And see who we really are
|
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
if nobody¡¯s gonna wake up
|
And start asking who's in charge
|
|
Ain¡¯t nothin gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothin gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothin gonna change
|
|
If I ain't ready to listen I'm never gonna listen
|
Most follow intuition while they wishing it would work
|
And my vision isn¡¯t perfect so I will never learn for it
|
Don¡¯t wish for some change like a church worker
|
|
Hallelujah, preacher I am not influenced
|
If I don¡¯t donate to your movement am I not improving?
|
And while the poor kill the poor for a portion
|
A piece of American society pie
|
|
I get high, the munchies I got, so bear witness
|
I got this girl looking at you 'cause my reps kissing
|
And I ain't ready to wait then there's dollars on the brain
|
Why do you expect change?
|
|
Till we learn to get together
|
And see who we really are
|
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothing gonna change
|
If nobody¡¯s gonna wake up
|
And start asking who's in charge
|
|
Ain¡¯t nothin gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothin gonna change
|
Ain¡¯t nothin gonna change no no
|
|
Ain¡¯t shit changing but diapers on babies
|
Get higher than the background singers singing, singing
|
