    Default Solved: lyrics some things never change reggae

    ok here goes. a few weeks ago at work i heard a song and i could barely make it out but i liked it. it sounded like pop-reggae and the chorus went something like "some things never change" and it sounded like there was more than one singer. i think it was an 80s song. it was upbeat sounding but at the same time melancholy. ive googled the lyrics already and supertramp, damian marley, and tim mcgraw show up but i know its none of those guys. any ideas?

    as soon as i read this i thought of the specials and 'do nothing' .......that's what was running through my mind, but they actually say 'nothing ever change' instead of somethings never change.........

    probably wrong but i thought i'd give it a shot, and although it was a huge hit in the Uk i don't actually know where you are based.

    Standing in line marking time, waiting for the welfare dime
    'Cause they can't buy a job
    The man in the silk suit hurries by as he catches the poor ladies' eyes
    Just for fun he says "get a job"

    chorus
    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    Ah, but don't you believe them

    They say hey little boy you can't go where the others go
    'Cause you don't look like they do
    Said hey old man how can you stand to think that way
    Did you really think about it before you made the rules
    He said, Son

    chorus
    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    Ah, but don't you believe them

    solo

    Well they passed a law in '64 to give those who ain't got a little more
    But it only goes so far
    Because the law don't change another's mind when all it sees at the hiring time
    Is the line on the color bar

    chorus

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    Ah, but don't you believe them
