Lyrics: "Nothing Ever Changes"

Another new song for the CD. Definitely a work in progress. As of this first draft, I'm not at all happy with the last verse.

*Edit (2/09/08): Last verse has been changed, along with the rhyming scheme. I have a melody in mind for this now. Almost ready for demo.

Nothing Ever Changes

The talking heads are screaming at me
Blasting out from my TV set
They all want me on their side
But I ain't made my mind up yet
They're all so quick to promise everything
And just as quick they forget your name
Nothing ever changes
Everything stays the same

I'm trying to build a fortune here
On Earth before I die
I built a life on hopes and dreams
That a million bucks can't buy
You move ahead just to be pushed back
The whole idea seems so lame
Nothing ever changes
Everything stays the same

They say the more things change
The more they stay the same
I say the more things stay the same
The more they never change

All the journeymen at the station
They've already checked their bags
They're all takin' off and flyin' high
Work like dogs for the tails that wag
They want the credit and the glory
But no one ever takes the blame
Nothing ever changes
Everything stays the same
