With One Eye on Getting Their Pay Songtext
von McCarthy

With one eye on getting their pay
The lackeys of the well-off say
That we always are the best
And new ways get us nowhere

Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best

Look in the bible you will see how
The people went on the same as now
They cheated and lied the same
They loved and died the same

Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best


The well-off pray there′ll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They′ll hold onto their ill-gotten ways

Whenever the mentally unsound
Try to turn our lives upside down
They hope to improve the world
They have only made it worse

Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best

The well-off pray there'll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They′ll hold on to their ill-gotten things

With one eye on getting their pay
The lackeys of the well-off say
That we our always the best
And new ways get us nowhere


Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
