Informant – Nothing Ever Changes
An Embarrassment
Did you hear what you said? I’d like to know what was going through your: head for the hills. Because the approaching mob doesn’t look like it will do you any good.
They’ve taken away, everything that we hold dear, or everything that we should hold dear, but it’s easy to loose sight.
But who’s to say what was wrong or right. No it isn’t you, it isn’t you. And their hearts are just as big as anyone you know. It’s an embarrassment the way you are making yourself heard.
(Taken Away)
Nothing Ever Changes
It’s ‘cause you want to, you say it’s cause you want to. But nothing ever changes when you’re sitting around talking about how bad it is. And you’ve been waiting for so long, you’ve been waiting for so long. We’ll I’ve been waiting as long as you so don’t think you can say, so now it’s cause I want too. And nothing ever changes when you’re sitting around never spending time alone.
I know I know it’s not the same, when all you’ve got running through your veins is chemicals and corn syrup that was half lived ten thousand years but will never decompose. If there is a deity inside of you and me it should surely not be one for which we’d kill.
Comfort
And I’ve been watching you, for a long long time. And I’ve been nursing you for years but you seem just fine. Though you’ve been out on your own, and though you may leave this is still your home. Please forgive me if I get caught up on the past, just know where your going and make sure it lasts.
Telling you goodbye is quite the same as the thunderbolt says to the droplet of rain, and it may be a while ‘til we see you again, but the best we can do is just hope that you’re sane. Sane enough to know you’re fine, but you’re not () You’ll be be fine you know you are, that you are ()
Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s true, but maybe it’s time you stopped singing the blues. Strumming and singing does good for some but the chances are almost one thousand to one. One could say that you’d quit, but you won’t () It’s up to you what you what you really want to do, what you()
and you can’t do this on your own.
You can’t do this all alone.
Shows Over
The show is over there’s nothing left to say. You’ve been at it for a few years just take a break. No way! I’m feeling fine and standing still just gets you left behind besides this is a choice of yours not mine. Is it really worth your dignity, when this is just a away for some to breath?
Is there something you’re running from?
I know exactly what you’re running from.
It’s getting tougher just to make it last, and I’d say I’m looking down the greenest path, so burn that stated plan and start moving on your feet. There is space for you to run if that is what you need.
Is there something you’re running from?
I know exactly what you are running from.
Friends
You say you really want to know, just what I think of you. Once my pal but never again ‘cause you were a pal untrue. And if the blame should fall on me I suppose I apologize, but that makes two that you owe to me in all of these people’s eyes.
We don’t need anybody to tell us where we’re from, we don’t need anybody to approve of what we’ve done. Friends don’t walk out on friends, or move so rash and bold. The sun is shining bright, but you have left us out in the cold.
What I don’t get is your timing, why’d you have to go? You had a friend and a band and an occupation, now what you have to show? For years of hard work and sacrifice your dreams were at your hands, and if you knew then what you know now, would you still fuck your band?
We don’t need anybody to tell us where we’re from, we don’t need anybody to approve of what we’ve done. Friends don’t walk out on friends, or move so rash and bold. The sun is shining bright, but you have left us out in the cold.
Look who forgot what friends are for, one’s right next to you on the floor. I’ve been through this process before, I know it well. Last one I thought would fail out failed them all.
Worry Free
Hush baby birds let me feed you! Through the the tubes and the belts ‘til it shines like a dime. With everything that surrounds you don’t you finally feel fine? And how about a place where you don’t have to worry, a useless emotion, it change nothing. Still there’s that pain in the back of your brian. I want to hear you say to me, say to me, make me worry free and ultimately.
Pitting our hope at what’s bringing us down, changing your life so that you can amount. Everything everywhere all for you. What would you do if I told you the truth?
You want it? Come get it. You’re not taking what’s real away. I think we can all agree that this is too much humanity. It ain’t two lines on a page, it ain’t two lines on a page. And it’s funny how we go through such tribulation to avoid the truth.
But we’re all wearing down of some bars and a code, and we’re easing the help that was sent out of love. ‘Cause it’s easy out there with supreme reasoning, ‘cause animals are still man, but the man is the king. So we’re reaching out now, out of brawn out of wit. With a brush on your skin and a reptile hiss, with the crystals up high and the red flashing lights. And it’s not a lie if you put it in writing.
So in the end it’s progress versus devolution.
Uniform
You wear that uniform like a badge of honor on our chest. You’ve been taken away separated at your own request, now you join us in our refrain, but you can’t see what it means. Don’t bother me, we can’t stand another breech.
But you’ll just act how you want, that’s the most human flaw. Ignorance is the only excuse and if that ain’t it then god save us all. All from the day where you shed your clothes but you still haven’t learned. You can’t truly rebel against a system, when the rules of the system aren’t your own.

So Now…
So now I hate to tell you like this man, but have got to know somehow. (You gave up on something you believed in) We’re loosing it with all your shit, the selfishness, the turbulence and most of all your feigned complacency. Please don’t think this is where it stops, because its not I just had to get it off my chest, still the wind of change is blowing hot air.
Wipe that blank look off your face, you painted it on now it’s starting to fade. We see through your wicked scam.
Say it with me now, say it with me now, say it with me now, you’re growing up but I guess I was wrong and this is the tight rope you’re walking on in an attempt to transcend every boundary of the universally grieved stalwart, conquered king you think you should be. You know what I said?

You’ve been waiting so long for what? Another person to find you. But the mystery escapes me and I’d rather just not bother. And you’ve been waiting so long for what? Another person to help you out of the mess you’re in, or always in, always without consequences.
But you’re waiting for some ghostly hand to steer you out of the storm. Custom picking what you believe, to what you think you need. A slap on the wrist makes you fear for your life.
Do you remember when I said I’d make you laugh?
Repeat, Digress.
Got to find a job – the economy collapses, trying to stay sober must avoid relapses. Not getting any younger, demanding such progress. I’ve said it all before.
Repeat digress, repeat digress, (x2)

Running out of subplots, they’re getting closer. I’ll keep you safe that’s what I told her. Wake up go to work got to blend in. Individuality the new deadly sin. Identity is unclear who could this be, an officer of the law or some one friendly? Hands in the air son now do not resist everybody give up repeat digress.
Repeat, digress. Repeat
Repeat, digress. Repeat digress.
You’ve got a choice now you can stand tall, state your position for us one and all. Waiitng on the call now so much tension, what’cha going to do? Every year it’s harder to make quota, double life and standards, weight on my shoulders. Break the pattern of your depression, feel the change and fuck your obsession,
Repeat, digress. Repeat
Repeat, digress. Repeat digress.
This is your chance, correct don’t repeat digress (x4)
The Jam
A harsh reality shocking you out of you’re syndrome, while gentle information makes it much more bearable. But you can’t feel that…
I’ve been awake for the last three months, I’ve never waited so long for sleep to come and I’m beginning to think that I need a break from the voices in my head. And everything is so fucked up, and the sad thing is there’s nothing can be done. My arms are beginning to feel separate, and as I look back I can hear you say.
Don’t let them take you away, for that’s a place we can’t stay but we’ll return there one day. Don’t let them take you away.
