La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la
I saw a dried-up river and a rich man
Turning on a garden hose
I see a young man picking up a gun
I guess that's where the money goes, yeah
Am I just as good as a bad man
Sleeping while the rest are dying? (Yeah)
Or am I just as bad as a good man
Saying there's no use of trying? (Yeah)
(Ooh-ooh) tell me, do you still believe
(Ooh-ooh) everything that you read?
'Til we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na (yeah)
And ain't shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background singers, singin'
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) huh, singing
Okay, singing
Some people do it all for money
And some do it all for the love (yeah)
Some do it all for the glory
There's nothing else they're thinking of
I saw a man in a four-door truck
Complaining that the price is high
Like a well-fed man with a spoon in his hand
Sayin', "Who ate all the apple pie?", yeah
(Ooh-ooh) tell me, do you still believe
(Ooh-ooh) everything that you read?
'Til we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na
If I ain't ready to listen, I'm never gonna listen
Most follow intuition while they wishing it would work
And my vision is imperfect, so I don't ever look for it
They all wishing for some change like a church worker
Hallelujah, preacher, I am not influenced
If I don't donate to your movement, am I not improving?
And while the poor kill the poor for a portion
A piece of American society pie
I get high, the munchies I got, so bear witness
I got this girl looking at you 'cause my ribs kissing
And I ain't ready to wait, when there's dollars on their brain
Why would you expect change?
'Til we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change, no, no
And ain't shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background singers, singin'
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) singin'
