Struck A Nerve Lyrics
Give me power to end all of the strife
Courage to kill the pro-life
I don't want to see
You can't change me
You tell me not to bow
Just follow for now
You're oh so holier than thou
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
Give me patience
to deal with all the strain
Balance to take the
fuckin' pain
I don't want to fake
And I won't break
We're too happy to be
In our apathy
We smile single
file to the line
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
We gotta wake up
You don't know you're right
Your right from wrong
We gotta wake up
Courage to kill the pro-life
You can't change me
You tell me not to bow
Just follow for now
You're oh so holier than thou
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
to deal with all the strain
Balance to take the
fuckin' pain
We're too happy to be
In our apathy
We smile single
file to the line
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
We gotta wake up
You don't know you're right
Your right from wrong
We gotta wake up

"Courage to kill the pro-life" isn't about abortion?
just right, yes ive found that article in wikipedia, although its in german, ill paste the original text and then ill translate it as well "In einem Interview mit dem deutschen Magazin Metal Hammer erklärte Flynn, dass die Texte zu The More Things Change… persönlicher ausgefallen sind. Struck a Nerve richtet sich gegen die Pro-Life-Bewegung, einer Organisation militanter Abtreibungsgegner, die auch Anschläge auf Kliniken und Ärzte verüben. Laut Flynn sollte jede Frau das Recht auf Abtreibung haben."

"In an interview with the german magazine "Metal Hammer", Robb Flynn stated, that the lyrics to "The More Things Change..." came to be more personal. "Struck A Nerve" is adressed to the "Pro-Life Movement", a organisation of militant anti-abortionists, that also commit(ed) attacks on hospitals and doctors. According to Flynn, every women should have the right to abort." I`m sorry if my english sucks dick.
It is against Pro-Life. I am also against Pro-Life.
This song is a challenge to conformity, fighting the status quo, and encourages you to break free from societal constraints. It says that no matter how things change, the system and status quo never change. It's about urging people to question their beliefs and values, and to actively engage with the world around them. The line and title of the album, "The more things change, the more they stay the same", means that despite surface-level shifts, the fundamental problems and injustices persist. Another line in the song, "courage to kill the pro-life," is possibly a statement against the anti-abortion movement (the pro-life movement), confronting their old religious/righteous beliefs and fighting for change.
I think that this song is about the state of the world. It seems to be a wake up call to people telling them to be real and to rise up against the evil in the world. Another great song by machine fucking head!!
