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 we were the ones with nothing to eat
We were the ones with blood in our streets
We were the ones with all the offsprings
And they were the ones just watching on TV

And we were the ones, broke down ans torn
With our life on our back and our wife on our arms
And they were the ones like "Damn, that 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

Il y a ce qu'elle carresse, et ce qu'elle a oublié
La chance l'a bien nommée
Ce sont les mêmes qui peinent, les même qui sèment la haine
Et même quand la roue tourne, elle tourne sur elle-même
Et si les rôles étaient inversés
Si nous étions les plus affamés?
Si boire notre eau devait nous tuer
Parce que des intrus l'auraient contaminés
Et pour continuer, rien ne pardonne
Quand tu crois qu'elle t'aime la chance t'abandonne
Et chacun rester à sa place, planté devant sa glace
Comme on y voit son imagine, mais on y masque ses angoisses
On y masque ses angoisses et rien ne change, non

Nothing ever changes
At least that's how we act
Like nothing ever changes
Like God as got our backs
Like nothing ever changes
Yeah, looking down this road
And I can see this pain, yes
It's only gonna 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 wanna 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 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 this, change this, change this
Everything changes, changes, changes
Everything changes
