Verse 1
D
Sit -ins and picket lines for civil rights.
Dogs in water, hoses,
crosses burning in the night.
Was down in
Mississippi that
Emmett
Till was lynched.
Then down in
Texas,
James
Byrd was dragged and ditched.
James
Bird,
James
Bird, a righteous name I know
Just change that
James to
Jim, and the bird is still a crow
G
I changed, changed,
nothing has changed
Changed, changed,

A
D
nothing has changed
Washed and ironed all the white
folks' clothes
Nursed their babies,
now she works in nursing homes
Had to be twice as good
to get half a chance
Still fired first and hired last
They talk about a glass ceiling,
now don't you know
She's down on her knees on
A
D
a concrete floor
G
Change, change,
nothing has changed
Change, change,
A
D
nothing has changed
Landless against the landlord
at home or abroad
Nothing's really changed for
what it's worth
They got you coming, got you going
It's all based on greed
You rent to own and the interest
make you bleed
You stood by from the master
at the company store
Now call it
MasterCard, it keeps the people poor
G
Change, change,
nothing has changed
D
Change, change, nothing has changed
KKK and the
Nazis march in
Charlottesville
Spewing hate, carrying guns,
wanting blood to spill
They are saluting
Hitler and their president
They wave their rebel flags like
the war ain't over yet
Some who stand against them for
democracy is true
A
Stars spangle love in the red,
D
white, and blue
G
Change, change,
nothing has changed
A
D
Change, change, nothing has changed
How can I be angry?
There's been some change, it's true
Too slowly in my lifetime,
there's much more we can do
Anytime a child is hungry,
anytime there are homeless men,
Anytime there are no doctors and there is no medicine,
Anytime there's ethnic cleansing,
anytime there's genocide,
Anytime there's been a hate crime and freedom's been denied,
Anytime there's been a war and
religious persecution,
A shepherd or a
Trayvon, another fatal shooting,
Anytime there is a ghetto,
anytime a reservation,
Anytime we meet,
I'm face to face with discrimination
How can I be angry?
There's been some change, it's true
Too slowly in my lifetime,
much more we can do
Am
D
Here we are, 2018
And the government is ripping
babies from their mothers
Tearing families apart
Putting them in cages
And why am I not surprised?
Why am I not surprised?
Horrified, but not surprised because
it's been done before
Oh yes, it's been done before,
hundreds of years ago
Nothing's changed,
oh nothing's changed
Will it change?
Can it change?
Oh, it's gotta change
It's gotta change
Change
Change
Change
