Lyrics
In the trials of my youth
On my way to being man
There were constant words of ill advice
I'd never understand
But their hometown dreams were shattered
When ambition foiled their plans
But you can't be the one who tries
They love to criticize
I know
Release and try
Laughing is all that I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
'Cause they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but your shoes
In my one man crusade
Doing what I knew was right
They would tempt me with the honest sweat
Of labor, love and life
And they only find respect for you
If you give up the fight
But you can't be the one who tries
They'll cut you down to size
I know
Release and try
Laughing is all that I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
'Cause they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but your shoes
I want to be there when you say you're wrong
I want to be there when you call
I wouldn't question your opinions
And if I stand on top of the world
Then maybe I'll find somebody I know
And if I don't
Laughing is all that I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
'Cause they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but your shoes
