Nothing Ever Changes

I woke up in a modern world
 And there's nothing I can do
 While I read the latest, from the breaking
 Story on the news
 People swear they say it's fake
 And look up to our leader
 As he speaks from a mind so bleak
 He preys on his believers
 Everyone's bitter, pointing their fingers
 Seeing the worst in each other
 But people are not, their skin, or their God
 Or who they claim their lover
 I think that people are made so unequal
 Some are born good and some evil
 And so here I pray, for one single day
 We can live here peaceful
 The world is falling down
 And nothing ever changes
 1, 2, 3 as the shots ring out
 But nothing ever changes
 The world is falling down
 And nothing ever changes
 We're all part of a silent crowd
 'Cause nothing ever changes
 12 more killed at a local bar
 Some were only 21
 But the NRA has bills to pay and feeds us with more guns
 So we send our thoughts and prayers
 To those who lost their lives
 But the cycle stays and in a couple of days
 Bullets fly and a few more die
 I'm not a scholar, I'm not an expert but if you fight fire with fire
 I'm pretty sure, it only gets worse
 The flames burn even brighter
 I know that I'm not alone
 When I say I'm sick of the violence
 Voice our anger on our phones
 But in real life we're quiet (shhh)
 The world is falling down
 And nothing ever changes
 1, 2, 3 as the shots ring out
 But nothing ever changes
 The world is falling down
 And nothing ever changes
 We're all part of a silent crowd
 'Cause nothing ever changes
 I hope that when, I fast forward
 Twenty something years
 We no longer live our days in hatred or in fear
 And live to be, kind and free
 To do unto each other
 As you'd have 'em do, unto you
 United undercover
 The world is falling down
 And nothing ever changes
 1, 2, 3 as the shots ring out
 But nothing ever changes
 The world is falling down
 And nothing ever changes
 We're all part of a silent crowd
 'Cause nothing ever changes
 The world is falling down
 Nothing ever changes
 The world is falling down now
 Nothing ever changes
 The world is falling down
 Nothing ever changes
 The world is falling down now
 'Cause nothing ever changes
