Lyrics:
A man stands in line behind her
Maybe just too close for some
Squeezes her bag beside her
One more move and he’s done
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Another fallen soldier
Keeps me safe and free
Now I can drive my big car
While they sanitize history
A pretty lie is packaged
You’d think we’d finally ask
We let the blind men lead us
When we choose to ignore the past
The more things change,
The more they stay the same
Look what we bought, is it worth what we lost
When a mother cries
We simply believe, trying hard not to see
When a mother cries
Some things never change
Strengthened by his message
Steeled by his rage
A poet grabs the pulpit
But the messenger’s never saved
A young man wants a wedding
The silent don’t protest
You know it saves the family
When they tie him down to a fence
The more things change,
The more they stay the same
There’s little room for average
And little sign of growth
You take the books from children’s hands
And you wonder why they don’t know
Do you hear your mother
She fought to break on through
The crushing hand that keeps her down
Could be lifted on up by you
The more things change the more they stay the same
