Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Each day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
'Cause fashion is my only culture
[Chorus]
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
[Verse 2]
People say to me, "Just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion"
How could I be anybody else?
I don't try
I've got no reason
[Chorus]
'Cause nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
[Bridge]
I'm just livin' in a life without meaning
I walk and walk
Do nothing
I'm just livin' in a life without feeling
I talk and talk
Say nothing
[Chorus]
Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
[Verse 3]
I walk along the same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find a reason
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don't complain, it's not my function
[Chorus]
Oh, nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change
[Outro]
They're just livin' in a life without meaning
I walk and walk
Do nothing
They're just playin' in a life without thinkin'
They talk and talk
Say nothing
I'm just livin' in a life without meaning
I walk and walk
I'm dreamin'
I'm just livin' in a life without feeling
I talk and talk
Say nothing
I'm just livin' in a life without meaning
