If you have ever just wanted switch off all your social media, television and radio and hide away and find a place where the chaos of the world isn’t happening, this song was born in the middle of that emotion. Changing channels not gonna help you is a craving to fall to your knees in the middle of a queue or after slamming the door when you get home and simply screaming out all the horror, anger and frustration at the constant layers of stress and unstoppable steps closer to the end of our race. 

Lyrics  by Donna Jag. June 2022

All I wanted was a holiday 
I’m Uber rated to the sky
It’s easy livin in a hot tub
Watch the homeless passing by

Think it’s never gonna happen 
We’re zoned out on yoga and a gun
Watching movies in my Humvee 
Judgements never gonna come 

And changing channels not gonna help ya 
And changing channels not gonna help ya 
And changing channels not gonna help ya 

No not all all 

Twitter says it knows a place now 
Novascotia Chile or the moon
Dig a trench and live on oat milk 
Bring the kinds of there’s the room 

Wish you’d listened to the hippies 
Unpolute the oceans and the tide
It’s to late for all your Ted talks 
This is global suicide 

And changing channels not gonna help ya 
And changing channels not gonna help ya 
And changing channels not gonna help ya 

No not all all
