Some Things Never Change (2023 remaster) Songtext
von DEVO

Some things never change
Some things never change

I saw the news today, oh boy
A thousand stories that we′ve seen before
Small minds play at the big time game
And everybody else pays
Make no mistake, they're on the take
They′d like to keep it that way

Some things never change
Some things never change


I saw the light today, oh boy
It came on flashing bright in red and blue
A man steps in with a terminal grin
Blue skies turn to gray
Young men die and the children cry
Why is it always the same?

I saw the news today, oh boy
A thousand pictures of the lives we live
Small minds play at the big time game
And everybody else pays
They're on the take and they don't give breaks
They′d like to take it away

Some things never change
Some things never change

A man steps in with a terminal grin
Blue skies turn to gray
Young men die and the children cry
Why is it always the same?
