Nothing Ever Changes

Verse 1

Woke up Monday with a parking ticket

The landlord's knocking like he owns my soul

Boss man smiles while he cuts my hours

Says the company's on a roll

Pre-Chorus

They promise raises every April

Then they hand me a coffee mug

Say we're family so I bite my tongue

Chorus

Nothing ever changes around here

Same old circus different clown

Nothing ever changes around here

Round and round and round and down

Verse 2

My brother's selling timeshares in Nevada

My sister married a man with a boat

Me I'm fixing someone else's engine

Writing checks that I can't float

Pre-Chorus

Everybody's got a secret

Everybody's got a plan

Mine is sitting in a lawn chair holding sand

Chorus

Nothing ever changes around here

Same old circus different clown

Nothing ever changes around here

Round and round and round and down

Bridge

Maybe I'm just cynical

Maybe I'm just tired

Maybe the joke's on me

Maybe I'm the liar

Chorus

Nothing ever changes around here

Same old circus different clown

Nothing ever changes around here

Round and round and round and down

Post-Chorus

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah

Round and round and down

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah

Round and round and down
