Labi Siffre - Nothin's Gonna Change lyrics

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 d**h outside my place We strangle nature We murder the trees Forgetting we need the trees to breathe
