paroles de chanson Everything Changes - SOJA

What do we really need in this life?
I look at myself sometimes like it's not right
People out there with no food at night
And we say we care, but we don't, so we all lie

What if there's more to this and one day
We become what we do, not what we say
We end up in all the shit, that they're 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 all the offspring
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, damn, that's so sad
And we were the ones like

Nothing ever changes
It's the only thing I know
That nothing ever changes
I'm looking down this road
And nothing ever changes, no
No, nothing ever changes

Look at your dreams and your intention
How selfish it is for you to mention
Turning your thousands into millions
Marry a model and then you have some children

Well, they've got their dreams too, I imagine
Like water, they won't come back to kill them
Sleeping at night without a murder
In some little town you've 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 can't imagine losing
Like "Oh no what if that happens to me?"
Well what you've got, they'll never have
To be like you, yeah, to have your chance
To be like you before they're gone
But oh, no, woah

Nothing ever changes
At least that's how we act
Like nothing ever changes
Like God has got our backs
Like nothing ever changes
Looking down this road
And I can see this pain, yes
It's only gonna grow, grow, grow

Maybe we need more shoes on our feet
Maybe we need more clothes and TVs
Maybe we need more cash and jewelry
Or maybe we don't know what we need

Maybe we need to want to fix this
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 God's not unfair
Maybe we're all his kids and he's up there
Maybe he loves us for all our races
Maybe he hates us when we're all so racist

Maybe he sees us, when we don't care
And it's heaven right here but it's hell over there
And maybe the meek will inherit this earth
'Cause 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 too late
Maybe you should change this

My brother we're standing at the gate, oh
Everything changes, changes, changes
Maybe you should change it, change it, change it
Everything changes, changes, changes
Everything changes
