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 probably 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 Gillettes

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
