Nothin's Gonna Change (1988) Lyrics - Singles - Labi Siffre

Life can be funny 

Sometimes a shame 

Making the same mistakes again and again 

It isn't easy being a man 

For a woman it's harder 

Try it in the Sudan 

And when you're winning and when you've won 

You turn around ... your problems just begun 

And when you're losing and when you've lost 

You turn around ... it wasn't worth the cost 

How did we make it... 

It's a mystery 

We're getting better... 

That's news to me 

Are we defeated... 

Huh! Defeated like hell 

We may be losers... 

But we'll never tell 

Nothin's Gonna Change 

But we don't give in 

Nothin's Gonna Change 

Take it on the chin 

Nothin's Gonna Change 

Keep that silly grin 

Nothin's 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 

It's 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
