Life can be funny
Sometimes a shame
Making the same mistakes again and again
It isnt easy being a man
For a woman its harder
Try it in the Sudan

And when youre winning and when youve won
You turn around your problems just begun
And when youre losing and when youve lost
You turn around it wasnt worth the cost

How did we make it
Its a mystery
Were getting better
Thats news to me
Are we defeated
Huh! Defeated like hell
We may be losers
But well never tell

Nothins Gonna Change
But we dont give in
Nothins Gonna Change
Take it on the chin
Nothins Gonna Change
Keep that silly grin
Nothins Gonna Change
The only way to win

World wars are over
One and two
Others are raging still just like brand new
The Big Band is with us
Its here to stay
Unless the Martians come to take it away

My TV dinner shows a starving face
The kicked a man to death outside my place
We strangle nature
We murder the trees
Forgetting we need the trees to breathe
