Labi Siffre - Nothins Gonna Change (1988) Lyrics

Life can be funny

Sometimes a shame

Making the same mistakes again and again

It isnt easy being a man

For a woman its harder

Try it in the Sudan



And when youre winning and when youve won

You turn around ... your problems just begun

And when youre losing and when youve lost

You turn around ... it wasnt worth the cost



How did we make it...

Its a mystery

Were getting better...

Thats news to me

Are we defeated...

Huh! Defeated like hell

We may be losers...

But well never tell



Nothins Gonna Change

But we dont give in

Nothins Gonna Change

Take it on the chin

Nothins Gonna Change

Keep that silly grin

Nothins 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

Its 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
