(original lyrics by Lynval Golding of The Specials, but I changed about half of them)
Each day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find
Find a future
Surrounded by the fascists and police
Stuck with my
complacent culture
NOTHING EVER CHANGE, WOAH NO, NOTHING EVER CHANGE
These people tell me “focus on yourself
it makes no sense, just follow passion”
I wish I could be anybody else
And use my voice
And take some action
NOTHING EVER CHANGE, WOAH NO, NOTHING EVER CHANGE
I’m just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I’m just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
[sax solo]
NOTHING EVER CHANGE, WOAH NO, NOTHING EVER CHANGE
I’m just living in a life without meaning,
I walk and walk, do nothing
I’m just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
Each day I walk through my life half-asleep
Trying to find
Find a meaning
So I marinate in self-defeat
As I lie
Stare at the ceiling
