Life can be funny, sometimes a shame Making the same mistakes again and again It isn't easy being a man For a woman it's harder Try it in the Sudan And when you're winning and when you've won You turn around, your problems just begun And when you're losing and when you've lost You turn around, was it worth the cost
[chorus] How did we make it It's a mystery We're getting better That's news to me Are we defeated Defeated like hell We may be losers But you'll never tell Nothing's gonna change We don't give in Nothing's gonna change Take it on the chin Nothing's gonna change With that silly grin Nothing's gonna change On the way to win
World wars are over, one and two Others are raging still just like bamboo The big bang is with us, here to stay Unless the Martians come and take us away My TV dinner shows a starving face Making demands again outside my place We strangle nature, the birds and trees, Forgetting, we need the trees to breathe.
[chorus x2]
Nothing's gonna change We don't give in Nothing's gonna change Take it on the chin Nothing's gonna change With that silly grin Nothing's gonna change On the way to win
