Change (Live) - Daniel Merriweather

LaaLaLaLaLa(...)

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 dyin'? (yeah)

Or am I just as bad as a good man,

Sayin' there's no use of tryin'? (yeah)

(Ooh-oh) Tell me do you still believe

(Ooh-oh) everything that you read?

Till 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

Nanananana (yeah)

Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies

Get higher in the background singers, singing (naanaanaanaa)

Singing (nananana)

Okay singing

Some people do it all for money

And some do it all for their love (yeah)

Some do it all for the glory

'Cause nothing else they're thinking of

I saw a man in a four door truck

Complaining that the price was high

Like a well fed man with a spoon in his hand

Saying "Who ate all the apple pie?" (yeah)

(Ooh-oh) Tell me do you still believe

(Ooh-oh) everything that you read?

Till 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

Nanananana (yeah)

If I ain't ready to listen

I'm never gonna listen

Most people follow intuition

While they wishing it would work

And my vision isn't perfect

So I will never learn for it

Don't wish 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 piece of American society pie

I get high, the munchies I got, so bear witness

I got this girl looking at you 'cause my reps kissing (mwah)

And I ain't ready to wait when there's dollars on the brain

Why would you expect change?

Till 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

Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies

Get higher in the background singers, singing (naanaanaanaa)

Singing (nananana)
