what do we really need in this life
I look at myself sometimes like its not right
people out there with no food at night 
and we say care, but we dont so we all lie

what if theres more to this and one day
we [bad word] what we do not what we say
we end up in all the [bad word] that theyre in 
and roles are reversed and it was different

and we were the ones with nothing to eat
we were the ones with blood in our streets
we were the ones with only our screams 
and they were the ones just watching on tv

and we were the ones broke down and torn
with our life on our back and our wife in our arms
and they were the ones like [bad word] thats so sad
and we were the ones like...

Nothing ever changes
its the only thing i know
that nothing ever changes
im looking down this road
and nothing ever changes...no
no nothing ever changes

Look at your dreams and your intention
selfish it is for you to mention
turning your thousands into millions 
marry a model and you have some children 

well they got their dreams to i imagine 
like what if it [bad word] back to kill them
sleeping at night without a murder 
in some little town you never heard of

now look at your nightmares 
and all of your worst fears 
your car and your house 
and your girl and it stops there
all these things you cant imagine losing

like oh no what if that happened to me
but what you got theyll never have 
to be like you ya, to have your chance
to be like you before theyre gone oh no ohh

nothing ever changes
at least thats how we act
like nothing ever changes
like god has got our backs
like nothing ever changes
im looking down this road
and i can see this pain is 
its the only kind i know

maybe we need more shoes on our feet 
maybe we need more clothes and tv's
maybe we need more cash and jewelry
or maybe we dont know what we need 

maybe we need to wana fix it 
maybe stop talking
maybe start listening 
maybe we need to look at this world
less like a square and more like a circle 

maybe just maybe gods not unfair
maybe were all his kids and hes up there
maybe he loves us for all our races
maybe he hates us when were all so racist

maybe he sees us when we dont care 
and its heaven right here but its [bad word] over there
and maybe the meek will inherit this earth 
cuz it was written before so...

everything changes
and nothing stays the same 
no everything changes 
and if you feel ashamed 
maybe you should change this
before it gets to late 
maybe you should change this
my brother were standing at the gate 
oh everything changes, changes, changes
maybe you should change it, change it, change it
everything changes, changes, changes 
everything changes.
