1950s underground vocal group Todd And The Tunnel Snakes were ready for the fallout following the release of War Never Changes. Instead, this cover of the early pop classic from legendary duo Tim & Leonard only bolstered their mainstream appeal. When asked about the secret to their winning formula, Todd simply said, “It just works.”

However, the release of the song was not without controversy. Tim & Leonard fans – already reeling from the duo’s tragic demise in a freak chocolatiering accident - worried the original spirit of the song had been lost. In order to quell those fears and honor their lost heroes, Todd And The Tunnel Snakes requested the 2nd printing of the record include new cover art, depicting the duo who had inspired them and so many fans around the world.

Lyrics:

Look up, way up in the sky
Check those warheads as they fly by
Off to land with a flash and a bang
But you and me will wait out the whole thing

Cause war never changes
The human race is simply deranged
So let's cuddle up
let the cavemen go nuts
and let's love
Cause war never changes!

Look there, oh ain't it serene
As planes and tanks enter the scene
Off to send out a shell and a shock
So let's hit the shelter and ignore all the schlock

Cause war never changes
The human race is simply deranged, dear
They trade tit for tat
When one hits, two hits back
So let's love
Cause war never changes!

So let the whole world burn
If that's what it takes to learn
That love's what is needed in sum
And it can't be delivered by bomb

Cause war, war never changes
The human race is simply deranged
They've nuked the hot spots
The whole damn world is shot
So let's love
Cause war never changes!

So let's love
Cause war never changes!
