Nothing Gonna Change (until You Change Your Heart) Lyrics

The self righteous can do no wrong
It’s always someone else’s trouble
Walking up on stilts
Trying to stay above the rubble

There’ll be no credit cards on Judgement Day
When all these debts come due
Everyone of us you know
Gonna have to face up to what’s true

I’ll do all I can
You know I’m ready to do my part
But nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Until you change your heart

Disinformation, propaganda
Billionaires pulling strings
Death squads roaming in the shadows
Assassins waiting in the wings

Money changing hands
Politicians selling drugs
Crimes and misdemeanors
Getting swept under the rugs

I’ll do all I can
You know I’m ready to do my part
But nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Until you change your heart

You talk peace while you plan revenge
You’ve been talking about revolution
Blind and dizzy on the wheel
Recycling vanity and pollution

You’ve got a house in the country
Foundations built on blood
While you’re feasting at your table
Little children starving in the mud

I’ll do all I can
You know I’m ready to do my part
But nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change Until you change your heart

The grass is always greener
On the other side of the street
Every man has his price
And stolen bread tastes sweet

There’s nothing new under the sun
Morning come then the night
You can’t get something for nothing baby
And two wrongs won’t make it right

Bulldozers in the garden
Smoke blocking out the sun
I’ve been hearing some pretty scary stories
And I know I’m not the only one

The temple and the sanctuary
Been divided up and sold
They’ll torch the jungle for some hamburg
Sell off the future for some gold

I’ll do all I can
You know I’m ready to do my part
But nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Until you change your heart

Now when the Kingdom come
You won’t find it over there
The wolf putting on the shepherd’s clothes
He’ll turn the word into a snare

He’ll lead many souls away
Even the prudent and the wise
Not even the Pope or the President
Will be able to see thru his disguise

I’ll do all I can
You know I’m ready to do my part
But nothing’s gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Until you change your heart
