Life can be funny
Sometimes a shame
Making the same mistakes again and again
It isnA‚A?t easy being a man
For a woman itA‚A?s harder
Try it in the Sudan
And when youA‚A?re winning and when youA‚A?ve won
You turn around ... your problems just begun
And when youA‚A?re losing and when youA‚A?ve lost
You turn around ... it wasnA‚A?t worth the cost
How did we make it...
ItA‚A?sa mystery
WeA‚A?re getting better...
ThatA‚A?s news to me
Are we defeated...
Huh! Defeated like hell
We may be losers...
But weA‚A?ll never tell
NothinA‚A?s Gonna Change
But we donA‚A?t give in
NothinA‚A?s Gonna Change
Take it on the chin
NothinA‚A?s Gonna Change
Keep that silly grin
NothinA‚A?s Gonna Change
The only way to win
World wars are over
One and two
Others are raging still just like brand new
The Big Band is with us
ItA‚A?s here to stay
Unless the Martians come to take it away
My TV dinner shows a starving face
The kicked a man to death outside my place
We strangle nature
We murder the trees
Forgetting we need the trees to breathe
