What do we really need in this life
I look at myself sometimes like 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
We end up in all the s**t that they're in
And roles are reversed and it was different
And we we were the ones with nothing to eat
We were the ones with blood in our streets
We were the ones with all the offsprings
And they were the ones just watching on TV
And we were the ones, broke down ans torn
With our life on our back and our wife on our arms
And they were the ones like "Damn, that so sad"
And we were the ones like
Nothing ever changes
It's the only thing I know
That nothing ever changes
I'm looking down this road
And nothing ever changes, no
No, nothing ever changes
Look at your dreams
And your intention
How selfish it is
For you to mention
Turning your thousands into millions
Marry a model
And you have some children
Well they've got their dreams too
I imagine
Like water that 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
And 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 that happened to me
Well what you've got
They'll never have
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
Like nothing ever changes
I'm looking down this road
And I can see this pain, yes
It's only gonna grow
Maybe we need more shoes on our feet
Maybe we need more clothes and TVs
Maybe we need more cash and jewelry
Or maybe we don't know what we need
Maybe we need to wanna fix it
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 we're all his kids and he's up there
Maybe he loves us for all our races
Maybe he hates us when we're all so racist
Maybe he sees us, when we don't care
And it's heaven right here but it's hell over there
And maybe the meek will inherit this earth
'Cause it was written before so
Everything changes
And nothing stays the same
No, 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, oh
Everything changes, changes, changes
Maybe you should change this, change this, change this
Everything changes, changes, changes
Everything changes
