Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes

In the trials of my youth, on my way to being man
 There was caustic words of I'll advice I'd never understand
 But their hometown dreams were shattered when ambition foiled their plans
 But you can't be the one who tries, they love to criticise, I know... or at least they'll try
 CHORUS:
 Come on
 Laughing is all that I can do, trying to keep from falling through
 Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
 They all got advice to give 'cos they've got no life to live
 Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
 Nothing ever changes but the shoes
 In my one man crusade doing what I knew was right
 They would tempt me with the honest sweat of labour, love and life
 And they only find respect for you if you give up the fight
 But you can't be the one who tries, they'll cut you down to size, I know... or at least they'll try
 CHORUS
 I... want to be there when you say you're wrong
 I... want to be there when you crawl
 I... wouldn't piss on your opinion
 And if I stand on top of the world then maybe I'll find somebody I know, and if I don't...
 CHORUS
