The Kings - A Protest Song lyrics

In the air I get to smoke a cigarette I get to walking around the town On my way to nowhere special I got nothing to do today Across the street a guy gets out an old guitar Further along a girl goes by and I think You gotta love this city Look around there's girls all over Ain't nothing like this back home A car goes by playing 'A Protest Song' The guy with the guitar starts to sing along 'Nothing really changes its here and then its gone' Words in 'A Protest Song' But what's it really saying about what's going on? In the bar you got the tv news You got the prices rising again they say Five o'clock the bar is crowded Everybody got paid today And over there at the jukebox Someone plays 'A Protest Song' And people tap their feet, start to sing along 'Nothing really changes, its here and then its gone' Words in 'A Protest Song' But what's it really saying about what's going on? And I wonder where it all begins Count up all the money let me know who wins And over there is Rosedale A kid gets out his new guitar And starts to write a song About this violent world And how there's something wrong How nothing really changes Its here and then its gone But what's it really saying About what's going on?
