Nothing Changes (Album Version)

Nothing Changes (Album Version) - The Moody Blues

The dark cloak of winter's war left a future still unsure

Sitting in a class of the future's past

We saw a list of dates

And we knew we would last to see them all

1984 was a year to fear hope was dead a police state here

Halley's comet was to fly by and we would

See a shining in the night sky

Now 2001 is soon to come and just as soon

Will have come and gone

Nothing changes

Standing at the crossroads of what is will be and was

The obvious eludes us not because the zeros line up

We should change our way of thought

More if we do not the way ahead is dangerously fraught

And if we did the things we all know to be right

Left would be the childish fears of danger in the night

We each of us are fine

For we have all heard the word

But grouped together

Babel's triumph stampedes the thoughtless herd

Nothing changes

Nothing changes and nothing stays the same

And life is still a simple game
