Times they change but life remains the same

Not sure where this one came from i think it's a mix of some of the headlines i heard on the radio news today but it's here, so i'll leave you with it ...Thanks for listening

Times they change, but life remains the same

Flashbacks and smokescreens clouded inside the black bile
Of times forgotten lost within that jokers smile
Yesterdays lost in tormented minds finally gone wild
The Lost looking for love like a rejected child

Times they change, but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same
 
Lost within the wilderness of sorrow
Theres No time left for the regret to burrow
The spiral falls down never up
It's time now mr Hitchcock for imaginative close up

Times they change but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same

Sometimes people don't realise how lucky they are
They complain about this and that of their normal their day
They are lost within their own self hypnosis
They don't notice the survivors just to keeping their heads above the fray

Time goes on without a tick from the clock
Silence is golden inside pandoras box
Nothing is open within the sealed envelope
All the screams are quietened by the lack of hope

Times they change but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same

Break

Times they change but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same

Sometimes people don't realise how lucky they are
They complain about this and that from  their day
They are lost within their own self hypnosis
They don't notice the survivors just to keeping their heads above the fray

A voice inside decides to scream on out the truth
Its time to unlock the pain from this poor Childs youth
Now is the time to point the finger to the one with blame
To wipe the guilt from tears falling from the eyes yet again

Times they change but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same
Times they change but life remains the same

"They are lost within their own self hypnosis"

I have heard it said "the more things change, the more they stay the same."....yup..
cool stuff Trev....and lots of truth here too....
love that guitar...drew me right in... 

[Jean Pierre]

I love Trevor's voice...when it starts, it's always a surprise to me
Can I try to add a Dobro or Weissenborn track?

[thetworegs]

Yes of course  that would be excellent JP

[tonyc]

fantastic track trevor , superb lyrics and a great vocal like it ....cheers tony cee

[Greeny]

Love the directness of the delivery, allowing the excellent lyric and vocal to shine. Really, really works. Excellent songwriting and performance!

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

You do write some great songs and lyrics. Thanks for posting the chords so we can all jam along I love the acoustic sound and your vocals sound smooth

[WarpCanada]

I definitely want to hear this with MFJ's Dobro track! 

Great song.  Sparse and plaintive.  Great lyric.

Reminds me of a lost recording of T.BoneBurnett.

[BerryPatch]

You really are a great lyricist. The way you paint vivid images in your words is really inspiring to me. You do so much with so little instrumentation. Words and vocals; lol you need.

[Nelson]

Love the vocal performance and there are some lyrical gems here as well.

lines like, "screams are quietened by the lack of hope" and a simple yet clear and strong chorus

Well Done
