Nothing ever Changes
Gentleman Lyrics

What do we really need
What are the true necessities of life?

In this life
In our existence

I look at myself sometimes
Occasionally, I introspect

And it's not right
And I realize it's not morally correct

People out there with no
There are individuals out there who lack

Food at night
Sufficient food during nighttime

And we say we care, but we don't
And although we claim to care, we actually don't

So we all lie
Hence, we all deceive

What if there's more to this
Consider the possibility that there's a deeper meaning

And one day
At some point in time

We become what we do
Our actions define us

Not what we say
Not mere words we utter

And we end up in
And we find ourselves in

All the shit that they're in
The same difficult situations they are facing

And roles are reversed
And the positions are swapped

And it were different
And if circumstances were altered

And we were the ones
And we were the individuals

With nothing to eat
Without any food to sustain ourselves

And we were the ones
And we were the individuals

With blood in our streets
With violence and chaos plaguing our society

We were the ones
We were the individuals

With all the offspring
With numerous children

And they were the ones
And they were the individuals

Just watching on TV
Merely observing the events on television

We were the ones
We were the individuals

Broke down and torn
Financially and emotionally devastated

With our life on our back
Carrying the weight of our existence

And our wife in our arms
With our spouse by our side

And they were the ones
And they were the individuals

Like oh that's so sad
Reacting with sympathy and pity

We were the ones
We were the individuals

Like OH...
Exclaiming in exasperation and frustration

Nothing ever changes
Things remain stagnant

The only thing I know
The sole certainty I have

Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever truly transforms

Looking down this road
Considering the future ahead

Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever truly evolves

Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever truly alters

Look at your dreams
Consider your aspirations

And your intentions
And your motives

How selfish it is
How self-centered and egotistical it is

For you to mention
To even bring up

Turning your thousands
Transforming your wealth

Into millions
Into vast fortunes

Marry a model
Wed an attractive person

Have some children
Bear offspring

Well they've got dreams too
Well, they also have aspirations

I can imagine
I can picture it

Like what if it won't come back
Consider the possibility that it won't return

To kill them
To harm or destroy them

Sleeping at night
Being able to rest peacefully

Without a murder
Without any acts of killing

In some little town
In a small, unknown town

You've never heard of
That you're unaware of

Now look at your nightmares
Now consider your worst fears

All of your worst fears
All the things that terrify you the most

Your car and your house
Your luxurious possessions

And your girl and it stops there
And your romantic partner, and nothing more

All these things
All these material possessions

You can't imagine losing
You cannot fathom parting with

Like oh no
Reacting with a sense of dread

What if it happens to me
Consider the scenario where it befalls me

Well what you've got
Well, what you possess

They've never had
They've never experienced

To be like you
To have a life similar to yours

To have your chance
To have the opportunities you've had

To be like you
To live a life resembling yours

Before they're gone
Before they cease to exist

Nothing ever changes
Things remain unchanging

At least that's how we act
At least that's how we portray ourselves

Like nothing ever changes
As if nothing ever truly transforms

Like god has got our backs
Like we are divinely protected

And nothing ever changes
And nothing ever truly evolves

I'm looking down this road
I'm contemplating the future ahead

And all I see is pain, yes
And all I perceive is suffering, indeed

Maybe we need more
Perhaps we require additional

Shoes on our feet
Footwear to protect us

Maybe we need more
Perhaps we require additional

Clothes and TV's
Clothing and televisions

Maybe we need more
Perhaps we require additional

Cash and jewelry
Money and valuable accessories

Or maybe we don't know
Or perhaps we lack understanding

What we need
What is truly essential

Maybe we need
Perhaps we require

To want to fix this
The desire to rectify this situation

Maybe stop talking
Perhaps cease only speaking

Maybe start listening
Perhaps begin truly hearing

Maybe we need
Perhaps we require

To look at this world
To perceive this world

Less like a square
Less like a geometric shape

And more like a circle
And more like a rounded shape

Maybe just maybe
Perhaps, maybe

God's not unfair
God is not unjust

Maybe were all his kids
Perhaps we are all his children

And he's up there
And he exists in the heavens

Maybe he loves us
Perhaps he cares for us

For all our races
Regardless of our ethnicities

Maybe he hates us
Perhaps he has disdain towards us

When were all so racist
When we exhibit racial prejudice

Maybe he sees us
Maybe he observes us

When we don't care
When we lack empathy

And it's Heaven right here
And heaven is present in this very place

But is Hell over there
But hell exists in that distant place

And maybe the meek
And perhaps the humble

Will inherit the earth
Will receive the earth as an inheritance

'Cause it was written before
Because it was foretold in the past

So everything changes
So everything undergoes transformation

Nothing stays the same
Nothing remains static

And everything changes
And everything undergoes transformation

And if you feel ashamed
And if you experience guilt

Maybe you should change this
Perhaps you should alter this

Before it gets too late
Before it reaches a point of no return

Maybe you should change this
Perhaps you should alter this

My brother we're standing at the gate
My sibling, we are currently at the entrance

Everything changes
Everything undergoes transformation

Maybe you should change this
Perhaps you should alter this

Everything changes
Everything undergoes transformation

Everything changes
Everything undergoes transformation
