lyrics

Poor kids playing on the blacktop
It's as hot as a pistol in a pawn shop
Sirens in the background and they don't stop
Crime everywhere, it's probably the cops
You got the bus stop
You got the bourgeois
You got high class people eating fois gras
Times don't ever seem to change

Well never mind you now about all the noise
It's just boys being boys
Playing with guns like they're toys
Whatever you do you got to keep your poise
You got the lockdown
We're goin downtown
It's a hundred mile an hour showdown
Times they don't ever seem to change

Oh my brothers what is there to say
Has the Mississippi river always flowed this way
O my sisters what is there to do
How are we ever going to change this world
Just me and You

You got the big fat mamma in the limousine
She's heard the word work, she don't know what it means
She rides around town like she's a queen
The times between affairs are just the in-betweens
She's got the gucci purse
It's like the midas curse
She wants her old man riding in a hearse
Times they don't ever seem to change

This world is hurting ever since the fall
The problems are so big and we're all so small
And everyone is looking for someone to blame
What can I say I do the same

You got the good family man in the workaday
He sees the deck is stacked he does it anyway
He knows he's at the grind until he's old and grey
If anyone would listen, he'd have a lot to say
He's got the lockjaw
It's a fatal flaw
It's all choked up and sticking in his craw
Times they don't ever seem to change

One died, he died for it all
And he's the only one to ever beat the grave
So they say
Spent his whole life to show the way to love
Ain't nothing like him, nor will there ever be
And in this crazy messed up world
His is the best way that I can see

Gonna give some love away, give some love away
Gonna give some love away, give some love away
Cause love ain't mine to keep, you gotta to give it away
Love ain't mine to keep, gotta give that love away

Do you need some love?
Give it away.
Do you need some love?
Well give that love away,
Cause love ain't yours to keep, you gotta give it away
Love ain't yours to keep, you gotta give that love away
