Lyrics Never Gonna Be the Same - Zero Down

Never Gonna Be the Same

How much do you pay for product
What do you pay for hype
How long will that purchase matter
When that «push» falls from your sight
If they sugar coat the poison
It’ll kill you quite the same
Tune us in as consumers
And anesthetize our brains
We’re too dumb to figure out
That we all play the game
And we’re to blame
Do we know what’s fact or fiction
Do you really trust the news
How much truth gets filtered out
Before it gets to you
Diverting your attention
From the problems here at home
Sweep the homeless under the rug
In our ghettos we disown
Out of sight out of mind
It’s a method we condone
Reap what we’ve sown
People fight for equality
For their gender and their race
They seek to blame each other
For the problems that they face
But when 20% of the country
Owns 80% of its wealth
It limits your opportunities
To playing the hand that you’re dealt
Because money is what divides
More than color or creed
The middle class the poor
And rich minority
And while they tear down homeless shelters
To erect big strip mall chains
The gap between the rich and poor
Gets wider every day
It doesn’t matter what they say to you
We’re never gonna be the same
It doesn’t matter what they say to you
We’re never gonna be the same
It doesn’t matter what they say to you
We’re never gonna be the same
It doesn’t matter what they say to you
We’re never gonna be the same
