I saw a dried up river and a rich man Turning on a garden hose I see a young man picking up a gun I guess that's where the money goes, yeah Am I just as good as a bad man Sleeping while the rest are dying? Or am I just as bad as a good man Saying there's no use of trying? Ooh, tell me do you still believe Ooh, everything that you read? Till we learn to get together And see who we really are Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change If nobody's gonna wake up And start asking who's in charge Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies Get higher than the background singers singing, singing Okay singing Some people do it all for money And some do it all for their love, yeah Some do it all for the glory 'Cause nothing else they're thinking of I saw a man in a four door truck Complaining that the price is high Like a well feed man with a spoon in his hand Saying who ate all the apple pie, yeah Ooh, tell me do you still believe Ooh, everything that you read? Till we learn to get together And see who we really are Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change If nobody's gonna wake up And start asking who's in charge Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change If I ain't ready to listen I'm never gonna listen Most follow intuition while they wishing it would work And my vision isn't perfect so I will never look for it Don't wish for some change like a church worker Hallelujah, preacher I am not influenced If I don't donate to your movement am I not improving? And while the poor kill the poor for a portion A piece of American society pie I get high, the munchies I got so bear witness I got this girl looking at you 'cause my reps kissing And I ain't ready to wait when there's dollars on the brain Why would you expect change? Till we learn to get together And see who we really are Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change If nobody's gonna wake up And start asking who's in charge Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change Ain't nothing gonna change, no, no Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies Get higher than the background singers singing, singing
