Some Things Never Change

(альбом: Some Things Never Change - 1997)

I went back to my hometown
To the school and walked around
And the way it felt
It seemed just like yesterday

From the cradle to the grave
Some say we never change
No matter how we try
We try to rearrange

And like father so like son
It's as if we're both as one
Just as if our fate was
It was pre-ordained

In some countries far from here
You know, the ones we used to fear
Are they waiting to return to
Those old evil ways

You can take a correspondence course
Be single, married, or divorced
You can psychoanalyze your brain
But you know some things will never change

And what will those people do
When Russia starts anew
They'll just stand in line
All under a different name

You can listen to those brainwashed tapes
Take a Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist faith
But I'm sure it's gonna be in vain
'Cause you know some things will never change

If their theories all reap true
Then there's nothing we can do
Where the future lies
Yeah it's not too hard to tell

But after all is said and done
And the world it lives as one
You can bid those old taboos
A fond fare well

Yes a long fare well
A fairly long fare well
