Nothing Really Changes

Nothing really changes
 everything remains the same
 we are what we are till the day that we die
 Nothing really changes
 Everything remains the same
 We are what we are till the day that we die
 If we could live in Shakespeare's days
 I wonder who we'd be
 If people then could live today
 I wonder who we'd see
 They'd prob'ly stop a corner cop
 and ask what the whole world 's coming to
 If people then could live today
 I wonder what they'd do
 yes I wonder what they'd do
 Would Romeo and Juliet watch Nelson Eddy kiss Jeanette
 would Bacchus read police gazette
 and window peep at silhouettes
 would Caesar pay to see the mets
 would Icarus join the jet set
 would Satan smoke menthol cigarettes
 would Samson razor with Gilettes
 Nothing really changes
 everything remains the same
 we are what we are till the day that we die
 (unless we love the lord)
 nothing really changes
 everything remains the same
 we are what we are till the day that we die
 Would Henry VIII use etiquette
 In a busy New York luncheonette
 would Cleopatra die when when bit
 or save herself with a tourniquet
 would Beethoven join a jazz quartet
 would Ben Hur drive a blue corvette
 would Aristotle be an acid head
 would Cain kill Abel with a bayonet
 Nothing really changes
 everything remains the same
 we are what we are till the day that we die
 (unless we love the lord)
 nothing really changes
 everything remains the same
 we are what we are till the day that we die
