(Hang your head)

(Hang your head)

(Hang, hang, hang, hang, hang)

Some things never change

Some things never change

(Hang your head)

(Hang your head)

I saw the news today, oh boy

(Hang your head)

A thousand starry skies we've seen before

(Hang your head)

Small minds play at some big time games

And everybody else pays

Make no mistake, they're on the take

They like to keep it that way

Some things never change

Some things never change

I saw the light today, oh boy

(Hang your head)

It came on flashing bright in red and blue

(Hang your head)

The man steps in with a terminal grin

Blue skies turn to gray

Young men die and the children cry

Why is It always the same?

[This verse on Cassette Version]

Life must be eaten or at least bitten into

To get past the surface, the moment of truth

You know when it's right, it's sweet deep inside

It's real and it's better that some things don't change

(Hang your head)

(Hang your head)

(Hang your head)

I saw the news today, oh boy

(Hang your head)

A thousand pictures of the lies we live

(Hang your head)

Small minds play at some big time games

And everybody else pays (hang your head)

They're on the take and they don't give breaks

They like to take it away

Some things never change

(Hang your head)

Some things never change

(Hang your head)

Man steps in with a terminal grin

Blue skies turn to gray (hang your head)

Young men die and the children cry

Why is it always the same?

(Hang your head)

(Hang your head)

(Hang your head)
