"Some Things Never Change" lyrics

Johnny got a brand new job
And a shiny new company car
His boss really likes him
As he pats him on the back and says
"Son, you're gonna go real far"
Gonna climb that ladder until it breaks
Johnny says he'll do whatever it takes
He can already see his room with a view
There's nothin' he won't do
And to get what he wants
Seems like everything's goin' so right
Some things will never change
But Johnny still can't sleep at night

Now he never gets enough
It's just the nature of the beast
Of what he don't need
And he's too damn blind to see
Some things will never change

He bought a house in a neighborhood
He's movin' up, livin' large
He only used to drive through
Don't care who he's gotta lie to
Now he's got no plans, only one-night stands
Cause to him, love only has victims
It's a disease of the soul and it's hard to let go
He thinks the wall street journal
And Johnny's got all the symptoms
But Johnny still can't sleep at night
Holds the meaning of life

Now he never gets enough
Some things will never change
It's just the nature of the beast
And he's too damn blind to see
Of what he don't need
Some things will never change
Ooh yeah, never change

Now you've lost the war
Ooh yeah
Johnny can you sleep at night?
But you've won the fight

Some things will never change
And we never get enough
It's just the nature of the beast
Of what we don't need
And we're too damn blind to see

Some things will never change
As they come starvin' to the feast
Now we never get enough
Of what we don't need
We're too damn blind to see

Yeah
Oh, some things will never change
Oh, they'll never change

Yeah yeah
