Nothing Has Changed Lyrics

East Berlin, 1983

She draws her iron curtains

Yearning for democracy

Ten years later the curtain is gone

East and West united as one

Time will tell what the future holds

In the long run

Time has passed, nothing's changed

The world moves on but humans stay the same

Differences, conspiracies

Oh, there's always someone else to blame

Time has passed, forty years

The wall is down but people live in fear

Paranoid principles

Oh, will we ever learn

Old habits die hard

Nations still captivated

By atom bombs and guns and war

The clock kept ticking but time stood still

Zero progression, we're going downhill

The world's divided like never before

There's a legacy of mistrust

Time has passed, nothing's changed

The world moves on but humans stay the same

Differences, conspiracies

Oh, there's always someone else to blame

Time has passed, forty years

The wall is down but people live in fear

Paranoid principles

Oh, will we ever learn

If attack is imminent, you should move yourself and your family to the safest area in your fallout room

That is; you should get inside your inner refuge and stay there

After two days the danger from fallout will get less, but don't take any risks by contact with it

The longer you stay in your refuge, the better it will be for you

Listen to your radio, stay where you are and keep listening to your radio

Time has passed, nothing's changed

The world moves on but humans stay the same

Differences, conspiracies

Oh, there's always someone else to blame

Time has passed, forty years

The wall is down but people live in fear

Paranoid principles

Oh, will we ever learn
