"Nothing Will Change" lyrics

The boys find a home in a family born of hate
The girls plant desperate love
In a womb that just won't wait
Forgotten mother pushes a cart with her heart
Through a twisted fate

Like a river lost on its way to the sea
Where is humanity
I know that nothing will change
'Til it changes in me

As walls come down and spirits rise
The business of fear never dies
The artful dodgers with their false alarms
Take from the mouths to feed the arms
Pit god against god for a piece of land
They think they hear his words but they don't understand

Like a river lost on its way to the sea
Where is humanity
I know that nothing will change
'Til it changes in me
'Til it changes in you

There's a plague upon the body
A plague upon the mind
While the bridge is burning
Are we deaf dumb and blind
From the fallen forest to the poison bay
The world is turning
Turning out that way

Like a river lost on its way to the sea
Where is humanity
I know that nothing will change
'Til it changes in me
I know that nothing will change
'Til it changes in me
'Til it changes in you

I know that nothing will change
(Nothing will change)
I know that something must change
(Something must change)
I know that nothing will change
'Til it changes in you and me

Fe fi fo fum
I smell the blood of an Englishman
Fe fi fo fum
I smell the blood of an Irishman
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of an African
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of Americans
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of a Chinaman
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of an Indian
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of Romanians
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of a Latin American
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of a million sons
I know that nothing will change
I smell the blood of everyone
