six.eight - machine shop Lyrics

Dropping bombs on civilian streets
Sirens ringing throughout the night
Who's going to get some sleep tonight
They're shooting up dope out in the streets
Passing out at your feet
He's talking to himself, no one in sight
A makeshift bed to sleep on tonight

Nothing changes in 100 years
Nothing changes not at all
The engine revs fast but the gears move slow
Nothing changes simply told

He walked around town with a loaded gun
So misunderstood the damage is done
Take their land extract their souls
Save the child at reservation schools
They rode that bus to be free
They hid their torches under their skirts
Lighting up for freedom was their hope
Little did they know just another man's dope

Nothing changes in 100 years
Nothing changes not at all
The engine revs fast but the gears move slow
Nothing changes simply told

Same people still fighting for their rights
Your only crime, you're not them
Slight change just 2 degrees
Houses fall in the sea
At the cafe people all around
Everyone's eyes just looking down
All alone, you're not lonely
Still be nice to find a friend

Nothing changes in 100 years
Nothing changes not at all
The engine revs fast but the gears move slow
Nothing changes simply told
