(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 Ca**ette 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)
