Labi Siffre - Nothin's Gonna Change LYRICS

Life can be funny
Sometimes a shame
Making the same mistakes again and again
It isnīt easy being a man
For a woman itīs harder
Try it in the Sudan

And when youīre winning and when youīve won
You turn around ... your problems just begun
And when youīre losing and when youīve lost
You turn around ... it wasnīt worth the cost

How did we make it...
Itīs a mystery
Weīre getting better...
Thatīs news to me
Are we defeated...
Huh! Defeated like hell
We may be losers...
But weīll never tell

Nothinīs Gonna Change
But we donīt give in
Nothinīs Gonna Change
Take it on the chin
Nothinīs Gonna Change
Keep that silly grin
Nothinīs 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
Itīs 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
