Nothing Ever Changes by Cosmic Touch Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 1983

[Intro]
[?] ever changes
[?]
You'll find that time only rearranges
You fight every night
You search everyday
But you just feel the same old way
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes

Who's gonna rap about reality?
The galaxy?
LA, Jazzy B, are all star MCs

[Chorus]
Nothing ever changes
Everything remains the same
Nothing ever changes
Everything remains the same
Nothing ever changes
[Verse 1]
Nothing ever changes
Everything remains the same
The world goes 'round and 'round
And we play that same old game
Don't you remember, in late December
1965, we start to come alive
And everybody starting not to take no jive
Mini skirts, Afros, hair growing long
Students at the college, writing the song
Supremes, Aretha, and James Brown
Just makin' everybody want to get down

I have a dream that one day...

[Verse 2]
Well, well, well, well
Martin Luther King, doing everything he could
Leading protests throughout the neighborhood
Dope pushers coming through and their [?]
Preaching talkin' about how the world's gonna end
Americans on the moon, Soviets in space
One man trynna save the whole human race
Nuclear wars, crooked politicians
Messing up the world with their wrong decision
[Chorus]
Nothing ever changes
Everything remains the same
Nothing ever changes
Everything remains the same
Nothing ever changes

[Verse 3]
Nothing ever changes
Everything remains the same
The world goes 'round and 'round
And we play that same old game
Re-e-e-e, reality
Re-e-e-e, reality
Girls in the 80s, you're all having babies
They can't find the father 'cause he signed up with the Navy
Good work nowadays are hard to find
So you end up standing on the welfare line
Smurfs in the morning, Pacman at night
Everybody's talking about we got rights
We got kids on the corner with their radios, ha ha
Selling their cheeba and flashing their gold
You can't stay in school, you can't find a job
So you stay unemployed or you run with the mob
People carrying guns wherever they go
Yes, the new craze now is sniffin' that blow
You pick up the paper, the first thing you see
Some wild crazy man killed his whole family
Everybody sighing all over the world
Our boys robbing women, men raping girls
You all seem to say how we go the wrong way
The future's in our hand so here's what we say
The rich getting richer while the poor catches hell
Guys takin' ladies to the seedy motel
You may have fun but you're soon gonna learn
Once you play with fire you got to get burned, huh huh!
I'm sorry Mr. [?] there is no cure

Hey Daddy, hey Daddy?
Is anything ever gonna change in this world?
Well dear, if people just make a contribution
I'm sure we'll find a solution

Nothing ever changes

[Chorus]
Nothing ever changes (Nothing ever changes)
Everything remains the same (It stays the same)
Nothing ever changes (Nothing ever changes)
Everything remains the same (It stays the same)
Nothing ever changes (Nothing ever changes)

[Verse 4]
Nothing ever changes
Everything remains the same
The world goes 'round and 'round
And we play that same old game
Re-e-e-e, reality
Re-e-e-e, reality
1999, can you see it in your mind? Huh!
How it will be in this place and time
High-flying cars moving through the stars, ha!
People just jettin' to the planet Mars
Cities in the skies, underwater school
[?] to nature and we're living real cool
Walk-through shoppin', put on your gear
There's gold-plated outfits that match the atmosphere
Moving sidewalks made by machine
We got robot butlers to keep the house clean
Anti-gravity hydraulic lifts
Look at me, dancin' on air in crazy outfits
Tremendous, [?] incredibly new
[?] laser sounds to make you boogaloo
The Klingon [?] is a must
Getting high off of a cosmic dust
Everyone here seems to be real ill
Or they lame, it's a game, who programmed their brain
Everyone here seems to have no name
'Cause to the computer we're all the damn same
Now blacks and whites, have stopped worrying about the race
'Cause they worry about machines tryin' take their place
So we all could do is wish and wonder, huh
Everybody seems to live by a number
Hey tell me now, you said your name was Rick?
No, it's 234-11-96

[Outro]
Nothing ever changes
Hey girl!
Nothing ever changes
Hey guys!
Nothing ever changes
Re-e-e-e, reality
Re-e-e-e, reality
Nothing ever changes

Get it together, all we tryna do is tell you nothing changes
Reality!
Get it together, all we tryna do is tell you nothing changes
Reality!
Get it together
Get it together
Reality!
Get it together
Reality!
Get it together
Jazzy B!
We tell you nothing changes
LA!
We tell you nothing changes
Crazy Ray!
We tell you nothing changes
Ronnie Gee!
We tell you nothing changes
Donald D!
We tell you nothing changes
Captain [?]
We tell you nothing changes
[?]

Nothing ever changes (Nothing ever changes)
Nothing ever changes (Nothing ever changes)
Re-e-e-e, reality
Re-e-e-e, reality
