No Change

Can you hear the sound
of the fiddle and the drum ?
passing them fade
Can you hear the sound
of chanting in the streets ?
screaming for better days.

you've heard it all
yes, we've all heard it all
but tell me what has changed
you've seen it all
we've all seen it all
so tell me what has changed.

and the palace stays the same
only the guards ever change
so lay me down

you've heard the singer
sing protest songs
telling us what is wrong

you've read the books
that say where to look
well, where's the answer gone

you've seen it all
yes, we've all seen it all
but tell me what has changed

but the palace stays the same
only the guards ever change
so lay me down
