Change Songtext
von Daniel Merriweather

[Intro]
LaaLaLaLaLa(...)

[Verse 1]
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 dyin'? (yeah)
Or am I just as bad as a good man,
Sayin′ there's no use of tryin'? (yeah)

[Bridge]
(Ooh-oh) Tell me do you still believe
(Ooh-oh) everything that you read?
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are.


[Chorus]
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
Nanananana (yeah)

[Bridge]
Ain′t shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher in the background singers, singing (naanaanaanaa)
Singing (nananana)
Okay singing

[Verse 2]
Some people do it all for money
And some do it all for their love (yeah)
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 was high
Like a well fed man with a spoon in his hand
Saying "Who ate all the apple pie?" (yeah)

[Bridge]
(Ooh-oh) Tell me do you still believe
(Ooh-oh) everything that you read?
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are.


[Chorus]
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
Nanananana (yeah)

[Verse 3]
If I ain′t ready to listen
I'm never gonna listen
Most people 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 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 (mwah)
And I ain′t ready to wait when there's dollars on the brain
Why would you expect change?

[Bridge]
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are.

[Chorus]
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, no, no

[Outro]
Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher in the background singers, singing (naanaanaanaa)
Singing (nananana)
