Lyrics

No Thing

People come
And people go
One monkey don't stop no show
I'm getting too tired
To start all over again

'Cause it ain't (ain't) gonna change no thing (change no thing)

There's just all of this here land
Been trampled on by man
And all around me
All these birds of prey

And all I'm trying to do is just
Get by
One more day

Only a fool
Would ever think
Things could ever be the same
Only a fool would surmise
Everyone is sane

Though I watch them
Come and go
I'm fed up with
The status quo
And I'm feeling too tired
To start all over again

'Cause I know that it ain't
Gonna change no thing

"Allright"

Only a fool
Could think
That things would ever be
Simple again
Only a fool would surmise

Everyone is the same

Oh, I watch them
Come and go
I don't have time
For the status quo
I say, blessed be
And I'm on my way
On my way
'Cause it ain't gonna change
No thing
No, no, no, no, no, no

Well, it ain't gonna change
No thing
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, it ain't gonna change
No thing
