Time to Ring Some Changes
This old house is a-tumbling down
The walls are gone but the roof is sound
The landlord's deaf, he can never be found
It's time to ring some changes
You earn your money for your daily bread
But the bread's gone up and you need more money
But the money's gone down, better borrow instead
It's time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changеs
They'll arrest your son if you just stand still
They'll ask you to posе with your hand in the till
They'll ask you to die when you've written your will
It's time to ring some changes
All the politicians, they look so smug
They say tell the truth and then they give you a shrug
You might find the truth swept under the rug
It's time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
So you fall in love with the girl you've seen
Diamond studded on a TV screen
But the change in your pocket won't buy you a dream
It's time to ring some changes
So you steal a car and you go for a ride
You end up sleeping with some girl guide
And everything you do leaves you empty inside
It's time to ring some change
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
