I went back my home town
To the school and walked around
And the way it felt
It seemed just like yesterday
From the cradle to the grave
Some say we never change
No matter how we try
We try to rearrange
Life father so like son
It's as if wife we're both as one
Just as if our fate was pre-ordained
In some countries far from here
You know the one s we used to fear
Are they waiting to return to
Those old evil ways
You can take a correspondance course
Be single married or divorced
You can psychoanlyze your brain
But you know some things will never change
And what will those people do
When Russia starts anew
They'll just stand in line
All under a different name
You can listen to those brainwash tapes
Take a Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist faith
But I'm sure it's gonna be in vain
'Cos you know some things will never change
If their theories all come true
Then there's nothin' we can do
Where the future lies
Well it's not to hard to tell
But after all is said and done
And if the world it lives as one
You can bid those old taboo's
A fond fare well
Yes a fond fare well
A very long fare well
