No One's Going to Change, No One Ever Does (It's a Bedroom Day)
[Verse 1]
Mind is blown but her body is still in shock
Can't see nothing as she's staring at the kitchen clock
Feel so bland in the eye of the storm; it's a bedroom day
We should switch, we should pass ourselves around
Meet me at the corner; tear your dream-home down
It's a goddamn shit-show out here now
Got something to tell you about, someone told me about
I know I'm weak and this weekend you'll find out
Yes, I'll sleep at the fucking whore's house now
But in a cinematic, cinematic fades to black
Every day is a rodeo, man

[Chorus]
No one's gonna change, nobody ever does
No one's gonna change, no one's changing for you
No one's gonna change, nobody ever does
And I'm never gonna do what you want me to

[Verse 2]
Sitting here speaking Greek to a college blog
Every sentence is the same, it's just talk, talk, talk
I am one, I admit it, of a million who has it out for these soapbox idiots
The click-clack of your high heels - you're awake
I'm downstairs on a tic-tac strippers break
Every dancer's trying to sync to the beat
Every motherfucker in this place tells me the same shit
This whole world's gotta buy you a drink, man
Gotta take you to the edge and watch you throw it up
Every morning I could give a damn what you did last night
Just tell me how far to kick this can

[Chorus]
No one' gonna change, no one ever does
No one's gonna change, no one is changing for you
No one's gonna change, nobody ever does
And I'm never gonna do what you want me to

[Bridge]
But I don't wanna feel so jaded
Getting on a plane to work things out
When I'm alone, you're all I think about
But I'm never alone very long

[Verse 3]
They say you gotta love yourself first, that's a trip
I've been hating myself since I was a little kid
I know it's sad that game's rained out, and the bleachers emptied out
And the turnstiles spinning
All the good ones in the world, they've been dropping dead
Everybody's got a bullet flying at their head
I seen it coming, man
I seen it coming, man
I seen it coming, no

[Outro]
No one ever changes, hey, that's the truth
No one's gonna change, no, baby, not for you!
No one ever changes, and baby that's the truth
And I'm never gonna do what you want me to
