about

Original Cast Recording. The people in Vienna see their city after the Anschluss.

lyrics

It’s like I’ve stepped inside the looking glass
The buildings and the people seem the same
So you do you explain the man who spat at me this morning as he crossed my path
And called me words I won’t repeat even though he knew my name

Everything looks the same
(Everything has changed)
Everything looks the same
(Everything has changed)

This afternoon I stepped inside the corner store
They yelled at me to leave and then the door practically slammed
My money’s good, I’ve shopped with you a hundred times before
What has happened here, if you’re human, help me understand

Everything looks the same
(Everything has changed)
Everything looks the same
(Everything has changed)
Our history’s re-written ‘cause the truth was hard to bear
Now the looking glass is cracking and nobody seems to care

Now anger’s always ripe for exploitation
And leaders who are hopeless harness bigotry and blame
Instead of a solution they prefer an amputation
Just remove the nose to spite your face,
The blood covers the shame

Everything looks the same
(Everything has changed)
Everything looks the same
(Everything has changed)
You’ve covered up the looking glass ‘cause you don’t like the crack
It’s just as well because you cannot face the person looking back.

(Everything looks the same)
This was once my home
You were once my friend
I dreamed I’d live here with my children and their children
But I see that dream is coming to an end
