Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same
The worse it gets, the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

There is a chain that's never broken
You know the story, it's sad but true
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around, well, it goes around

Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same
The worse it gets, the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

At seventeen, Shannon is pregnant
Young as her mom, when she had her
Her kid is never gonna have a dad
The same old way that Shannon never had
What comes around, well, it goes around

Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same
The worse it gets, the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

And all those things you learnt when you're a kid
You'll ***k up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line

And welfare moms have kids on welfare
And fat parents have fat kids too
You know it's never gonna end
The same old cycle's gonna start again
Comes around, well, it goes around

Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same
The worse it gets, the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

And all those things you learnt when you're a kid
You'll ***k up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line
