Nothing Ever Change in America Lyrics

I watched the news today, oh boy

About an unlucky girl who had her life destroyed

All the people said her name

They all bowed their heads and prayed

Is this time different?
No, this time looks the same

First class, middle class, lower class citizens

Take a look at around at the trouble that'll get us in

All the history lessons, tell me what you did with them

Where have they all gone?

Nothing ever change in America

We keep singing the same old song

I watched the news today, oh kid

You're looking for answers but the answers are staying hid

The truth is here but the cover is up

Life's a lottery short on luck

You give it your all, but that may not be enough

Some things keep you waiting

There ain't a tree that should not be shaking

There ain't a heart that should not be breaking

That these dreams keep waking up undone

Nothing ever change in America

We keep watching the same rerun

One nation under God

Incoherent, inherently flawed

Some pledge allegiance to a past that never should have last

One nation under God

What would God say if she saw

That justice is just this line we cannot draw

Nothing ever change in America

Try to get ahead but you know the score

Nothing ever change in America

Dead ends, red lights and closing doors

Nothing ever change in America

Everything looks just the way it did before
