Can you hear the sound   of the fiddle and the drum ?   passing them fade   Can you hear the sound   of chanting in the streets ?   screaming for better days.      you've heard it all   yes, we've all heard it all   but tell me what has changed   you've seen it all   we've all seen it all   so tell me what has changed.      and the palace stays the same   only the guards ever change   so lay me down      you've heard the singer   sing proud their songs   telling us what is wrong      you've read the books   that say where to look   well, where's the answers gone      you've seen it all   yes, we've all seen it all   but tell me what has changed      but the palace stays the same   only the guards ever change   so lay me down
