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 death outside my place 
 We strangle nature 
 We murder the trees 
 Forgetting we need the trees to breathe
