"Some Things Don't Change (Rough Mix)" lyrics - DEVO

Way out west
Where the sun never sets
A man with a gun
Finally faces the test

["pow"]

The girls in france
Do a special dance
With blindfolded eyes
They move around in a trance

It's the way of the world
It's the world, it's the way we live
Live, live

So things could be different
Or could they?
It seems pretty
Hard to believe

Because if they could be
They probably would be
It's best not to wait
Until then

Life must be peeled
Or at least bitten into
To get past the surface
The moment of truth

You know when it's ripe
It's sweet deep inside
It's real and it's better
That some things don't change

For centuries
Some could not be seen
Except in the mind
Before m-t-v

It's the way of the world
It's the world, it's the way we live
Live, live

So things could be different
Or could they?
It seems pretty
Hard to believe

Because if they could be
They probably would be
It's best not to wait
Until then

["go"]

Life must be peeled
Or at least bitten into
To get past the surface
The moment of truth

You know when it's ripe
It's sweet deep inside
It's real and it's better
That some things don't change

It's the way of the world
It's the world, it's the way we live
It's the way of the world
It's the world, it's the way we live
Live, live
