The More Things Change
(Mishler)
New kitten in the window just ate some apple pie
New kitten in the window; the apple of her mama's eye
Black kitty in the sunlight gives her fur a touch of gray
New kitten in the window; it's the start of a beautiful day
Sweet baby in the playpen got its whole life ahead of it
Makin' no big decisions, just whether to roll or sit
Sweet baby on the school bus gonna live the future we make
Sweet baby in the real world, facin' an uncertain fate
The more things change, the more they stay the same
If we don't make some changes now, we'll only have ourselves to blame
Activist on the corner knows what's comin' down
Wants an end to war and hate, waves a sign and shouts
One minor detail, he didn't take into account
Foxes in the henhouse are not easily thrown out
The more things change, the more they stay the same
If we don't make some changes now, we'll only have ourselves to blame
New leader in the White House got a big mandate for change
Big Oil and Insurance just wanna keep the rules of play the same
Gouge you at the gas pump, arbitrarily deny your health claim
Lobbyists and lackeys think freedom is the name of that greedy old game
The more things change, the more they stay the same
If we don't make some changes now, we'll only have ourselves to blame
New kitten in the window just ate some apple pie
New kitten in the window; the apple of her mama's eye
Black kitty in the sunlight gives her fur a touch of gray
New kitten in the window; it's the start of a beautiful day
The more things change, the more they stay the same
If we don't make some changes now, we'll only have ourselves to blame
