Oberst, Conor - No One Changes Lyrics






Mind is blown but her body's still in shock
Can't see nothing as she's staring at the kitchen clock
Feels so bland in the eye of the storm it's a bedroom day
We should switch we should pass ourselves around
Meet me at the corner tear your dream home down
It's a goddamn shit-show out here now
Something to tell you bout that someone told me bout
I know I'm weak and this weekend you'll find out
Yes I sleep at that fucking whore's house now
But it's cinematic, cinematic fades to black
Everyday is a rodeo, man

No one's gonna change
Nobody ever does
No one's gonna change
Nobody's changing for you
No one's gonna change
Nobody ever does
And I'm never gonna do what you want me to

Sitting here speaking Greek to a college blog
Every sentence is the same it's just talk, talk, talk
I'm one, I admit it, of a million
Who has it out for these soapbox idiots
The click clack of your high heels you're away
Downstairs on a tic-tac stripper's break
Every dancer trying to sync to the beat
Every motherfucker in this place tells me the same shit
This whole world's got to buy you a drink, man
Got to take you to the edge and watch you throw it up
Every morning I could give a damn what you did last night
Just tell me how far to kick this can

No one's gonna change
Nobody ever does
No one's gonna change
No one is changing for you
No one's gonna change
Nobody ever does
And I'm never gonna do what you want me to

I don't wanna to feel so jaded
Getting on a plane to work things out
When I'm alone you're all I think about
But I'm never alone very long

They say you got to love yourself first that's a trip
I've been hating myself since I was little kid
I know it's sad that the game's rained out and all the bleachers emptied out
And the turnstiles spin
All the good ones in the world they keep dropping dead
Everybody's got a bullet flying at their head
I've seen it coming man, I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming

No one's gonna change
Hey and that's the truth
No one's gonna change
Oh baby not for you
No one's gonna change
Hey and that's the truth
And I'm never gonna do what you want me to

  1. r.... ....

    Every day ist a Rodeo man.....

  2. r.... ....

    it's a bedroom day

  3. C.... B....

    Feels like an old friend telling me comforting words. Thanks Conor

  4. a.... J....

    I feel like when Connor wrote this he was battling his own addictions and felt like sin city where the guy says "a smokers a smoker when the chips are down".its a negative concept that no one changes.but that's the reality alot of times

  5. C.... L....

    Conor is just like me/you. Except he puts it eloquently. I want him more than I want to be conscious. And then im glad there's an ocean between us. Cos if I met you and you met me....you'd probably want to set sail together. Against All odds. We are like clouds. We can't help but make shadows. I love rain now. I love it more than Conor loves his own sadness. More than love without honour.

  6. A.... A....

    I hear Daniel Johnston "Worried shoes" So much through song

  7. G.... M....

    Reminds me a bit of slow motion - third eye blind

  8. W.... L....

    dude this guy i tell you

  9. N.... M....

    he is such an inspiration.

  10. E.... o....

    Connor Oberst is a genius

  11. C.... I....

    i wear contacts now I cant have this happen... not now.

  12. J.... ....

    Who needs therapy when you can listen to Conor's songs. Seriously, his music helps me so much.

  13. �.... �....

    Yeah. Happybsong yeah

  14. N.... ....

    I love everything this guy does.This is his newest stuff to date, and quite possibly the best song he's ever written.

  15. D.... W....

    I hope one day he records an album of just crying.

    D.... W....

    This made me laugh too hard.

  16. M.... D....

    Conor signed my 11 year old daughters guitar in the alley behind the glasshouse in Pomona. I was grateful that he was cool. I dont want to meet him, hes got a lot of weight to bear with everyone idolizing him.

  17. K.... H....

    💖💖💖💖

  18. A.... R....

    Conor O back on his bullshit

  19. b.... ....

    Everybody has a bullet flying at their head.

  20. S.... B....

    So happy he is still making music!

  21. J.... F....

    I changed, I started to hear you. Guess I was deaf when I first heard it. This doesn't fill me with joy. But i hope you can use your gift to undermine those that seek to render melancholy as impotent.

  22. T.... B....

    Yes!! Back to this sound! The bright eyes sound ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  23. P.... O....

    Saw Conor play this live in March 2017. Was absolutely stunned.

  24. F.... J....

    it's a bedroom day

  25. J.... J....

    This song just smacked me in the chest hard

  26. L.... H....

    Conor Oberst how do I even begin to express how much I love your music and the way you project your powerful messages through your lyrics. Sighs eternally. ❤️❤️❤️

  27. �.... �....

    hey man, cheer up!

  28. L.... S....

    that cover painting is a thing of beauty

  29. b.... l....

    Like a twisted randy newman

  30. T.... t....

    oh honey :( xox

  31. B.... L....

    Conor is like a best friend that I’ve never met and is always there for me.

    B.... L....

    There are casual Conor fans, and then there are people who feel like THIS. Conor has helped me more than most people I actually know!

    B.... L....

    I met him once and he's just as cool as you imagine.

    B.... L....

    Yes exactly

    B.... L....

    @ZippoBoy ShaneShank I'm 32 and I been listening to Conor since 7th grade and seen him at grand ole Opry

  32. R.... S....

    😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

  33. J.... S....

    Haven't heard him this angry in a while

  34. F.... S....

    Wow, Just fucking wow.

  35. T.... H....

    Beautiful per usual

  36. C.... C....

    Glad this man is still making music. I needed his lyrics.

  37. J.... A....

    Excellent...I sincerely hope Conor realizes how much his music means to millions of people......restored my faith in the art of storytelling thru his lyrics and has pulled me out of dark places when I was inexplicably low and could not seem to bounce back....!!!

  38. L.... 8....

    I feel so blessed to have heard this song live. If possible, it's even more beautiful than this.

  39. K.... K....

    I love him so much. Thank you Conor.

  40. L.... ....

    Wonderful, I like the lyrics:)

  41. B.... M....

    I saw him perform this at the Varsity in Baton Rouge about a year ago.. I was totally blown away by it.. dude is a great songwriter

    B.... M....

    Billy Miller I was there fantastic show.

  42. J.... B....

    " This whole world's gotta buy you a drink, man..."

  43. J.... S....

    Conor sure hasn't forgotten how to pound out some angst upon those black and white keys !! ( Got the chills towards the end there )

  44. J.... ....

    the live version is better
    he's holding back in this recording

  45. r.... ....

    This song made me start cussing again.

  46. �.... ....

    I'm so proud of him that i'm crying, he's helped me through everything when i was younger. This is a perfect sonnet, matured. He's grown so much and he fucking survived so i should be able to too.

    �.... ....

    YES! It reminds me so much of Perfect Sonnet, just a little older and wiser.

    �.... ....

    That’s a beautiful thought. Couldn’t have said it better myself ❤️

  47. s.... �....

    I've been dying for a studio version <3

  48. L.... C....

    Heard this at the orange peel in NC

  49. p.... ....

    he’s such a beautiful song writer

  50. Z.... N....

    Yes! Finally!

  51. t.... ....

    Well, i guess its time to have another bright eyes phase

    t.... ....

    I'm in a really bad one rn and it sucks thT I cant listen to music at work so I just keep humming at the bottom of everything to myself
    All day hahaha

    t.... ....

    Man I do love this band and this guy, even if it is a phase I never want to leave it

    t.... ....

    Winter is the best season for a Bright Eyes phase.

    t.... ....

    Hell yeah! Check out Elliott Smith also

  52. J.... P....

    I saw this live performance online and been waiting for studio recording so good

  53. k.... ....

    Wow, literally posted on the same day my girlfriend broke up with me. All my favorite music makes me cry.

    k.... ....

    me too... ive been a fan of conor oberst since the early 2000s. and he got me thru many hard times. and my girlfriend of 9 years saw him with me last october at a show, and it was the first time i heard this song, with her... and then now its 1 year later almost on the day... and she left me, then i heard this recording when she went out one night with her new lover.. realized i heard this song holding her at the show the moment the chorus kicked in. i bet u can guess what happened next

    k.... ....

    Go get you some strange bro

    k.... ....

    How you doing?

    k.... ....

    How are you doing? Keep strong man

  54. C.... D....

    Conors music has helped me through my lifetime. Amazing

  55. F.... K....

    Saw him does this song last year.. really good song .. Love it!

    F.... K....

    Frank Kennedy There’s this really badass guy that was at that show and somehow knew this would be your Top Song Of 2018.

  56. M.... ....

    I love u

  57. d.... ....

    I'm an old guy. This is golden stuff, from the heart of a great artist. Take care, Conor...

  58. C.... S....

    I liked the live demo version better. Raw emotion. Love this song nonetheless.

  59. i.... ....

    Every time I hear his solo music I miss Mike Mogis

    i.... ....

    Mike Mogis is a talented producer but don't see how this would be better as anything other than voice, piano, and room sound.

    i.... ....

    Mogis produced the he'll out of those Bright Eyes albums, giving each one a special feeling. His pedal steel guitar is very missed, as is Nate Walcott 's beautiful keyboards and haunting trumpet... Those are the main differences I think.

  60. D.... P....

    This song is ridiculous. wow! I'm blown away.

  61. s.... c....

    i feel this..

  62. B.... B....

    All optimistic about Dems getting the house on the outside, but inside I'm thinking the corporate oligarchs that put Trump in the WH still control the entire crooked system.
    No one's gonna change, no one's changing for you.

  63. �.... :....

    He’s still got it!

  64. O.... L....

    this KILLED ME oh my GOD

  65. B.... A....

    Holy fuck I’ve been waiting forever for this song to get an official release!!

  66. N.... d....

    wow, haven't heard him this angry before. great song tho

    N.... d....

    Fever and Mirrors?

    N.... d....

    Man check out early bright eyes

    N.... d....

    you're right guys, it's been a long time

    N.... d....

    Desaparecidos?

  67. M.... C....

    I'm crying because I'm so happy right now. I've been waiting for so long for this, and finally, it's here!

    M.... C....

    Lies don t make you stonger.

    M.... C....

    @buff3dN3rf Wtf are you even on about?

    M.... C....

    @Malissa Crista Nothing. I ment no offense.

  68. t.... ....

    Amazing conor. Can’t believe you’re so underground. Song gave me chills

  69. A.... K....

    Thanks for sharing. Masterpiece :-)

  70. P.... H....

    Perfect Sonet?

    P.... H....

    Pedro Henrique that's what I was thinking too

    P.... H....

    @kyle moniz it's pretty similar

    P.... H....

    I hear it for sure.

  71. N.... C....

    This sounds like early Bright Eyes

    N.... C....

    Sounds a little bit like Perfect sonnet.

    N.... C....

    Like really early, reminds me of the unreleased Songs when he was a Teenager at some points

    N.... C....

    Sounds good, real fucking good.

    N.... C....

    Bright Eyes is Connor

  72. B.... G....

    Why in the hell did I get a recommendation for this dumbass self absorbed whiny fucking bullshit? God damn YouTube. Shut the fuck up!

  73. C.... ....

    "They say you got to love yourself first, that's a trip,
    I've been hating myself since I was a little kid"  man, this hits hard everyime.

    C.... ....

    Hits me REALLY hard. This is my new favorite song.

    C.... ....

    Yeah I kinda hate myself

    C.... ....

    Mass suicide? You are both man pussies.

    C.... ....

    Yeah... :'(

  74. P.... ....

    this is nothing like I've ever heard. i like it.

    P.... ....

    Have you ever checked out some older live performances from Randy Newman? Obviously it’s not EXACTLY the same in every regard and not quite as depressing as this in its narrative but I think it’d be worth checking out bc it at least feels real similar to me

  75. K.... S....

    You honestly made me who I am today. Very proud of that. 💙. Another beautiful song.

  76. K.... K....

    Absolutely love this!!!!💯✌✌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    k.... J....

    There's a studio version of it on Amazon, recorded with Phoebe Bridgers.

  80. S.... L....

    oh conor

  81. C.... ....
