You're referring to something about which action is futile.
Rearranging the chairs on the Titanic was a futile gesture, in the end the Titanic still sank.

Other such analogies. Such as.."it's like putting lipstick on a pig"
If I were to think of it longer I may be dragged down buy the feeling of despair that the sentiment my be trying to relay. Sincerely,

That something is a lost cause-- the view may be temporarily better, but the end result will be the same.

Not to make too much light of it, but what comes to my mind when you say that is: "Damned if you do...damned if you don't"! So in other words: Either way...you're screwed!
