No Change Lyrics - Levellers

Can you hear the sound 

of the fiddle and the drum ? 

passing them fade 

Can you hear the sound 

of chanting in the streets ? 

screaming for better days. 

you've heard it all 

yes, we've all heard it all 

but tell me what has changed 

you've seen it all 

we've all seen it all 

so tell me what has changed. 

and the palace stays the same 

only the guards ever change 

so lay me down 

you've heard the singer 

sing protest songs 

telling us what is wrong 

you've read the books 

that say where to look 

well, where's the answer gone 

you've seen it all 

yes, we've all seen it all 

but tell me what has changed 

but the palace stays the same 

only the guards ever change 

so lay me down
