Nothing Changes Lyrics

The dark cloak of winter′s war
Left a future still unsure
Sitting in a class of the future's past
We saw a list of dates
And we knew we would last to see them all
1984 Was a year to fear
Hope was dead, a police state here
Halley′s Comet was to fly by
And we would see a shining in the night sky
Now 2001 is soon to come
And just as soon will have come and gone
Nothing changes
Standing at the crossroads of what is, will be and was
The obvious eludes us
Not because the zeros line up
We should change our way of thought
More if we do not the way ahead is dangerously fraught
And if we did the things we all know to be right
Left would be the childish fears of danger in the night
We each of us are fine for we have all heard the word
But grouped together Babel's triumph stampedes the thoughtless herd
Nothing changes
Nothing changes
And nothing stays the same
And life is still a simple game
