[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed
I got this feeling like a train's running through my head, yeah
Turned on my radio to the same old song
Some big mouth talking, trying to tell us where the world went wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
But all this talk of peace and love
It's only for the news
'Cause every time you trust someone
You end up getting screwed

[Chorus]
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother 'til you turn the other way
The more things change, the more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain

[Verse 2]
Came to this morning, I was feeling mighty used
Picked up the telephone but all I got's a major attitude
Turned on the TV to the same old news
Everybody thinks they got the answer to the same old blues

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a hot smokin' pistol
On a Saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life
[Chorus]
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother 'til you turn the other way
The more things change, the more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a hot smokin' pistol
On a Saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life

[Chorus]
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother 'til you turn the other way
The more things change, the more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away

[Chorus]
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother 'til you turn the other way
The more things change, the more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle

[Outro]
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
