[Verse 1]
Can we take this down a notch?
My voice is reborn, my throat is re-torn
Have you lost all faith in us?
We’re the same as before, don’t settle the score
Why stay the same forever
When this change sounds so much better?
Maybe you should do this for us
If you’re so damn smart

[Chorus]
I’ll pray for progress, I’ll count my losses
God forbid I change, God forbid I change
Forget about where I’ve been, forgive me for being human
God forbid I change, God forbid I change

[Verse 2]
What did you expect?
We’re getting older, we have more to tell
And the last time that I checked
Living in the past never worked out well
I’ll sing these lyrics 'til I can’t anymore
Until the phlegm in my throat spews out on the floor
Have your own opinion, you’re entitled to it
As long as it’s not stupid and total bullshit
[Pre-Chorus]
"Complete. Bollocks. Piss off."

[Chorus]
I’ll pray for progress, I’ll count my losses
God forbid I change, God forbid I change
Forget about where I’ve been, forgive me for being human
God forbid I change, God forbid I change

[Bridge]
I will never drown, I will build my throne
Can you feel my heart? It never ends with a moan
I will never drown, I will build my throne
Can you feel my heart? It never ends with a moan

[Chorus]
I’ll pray for progress, I’ll count my losses
God forbid I change, God forbid I change
Forget about where I’ve been, forgive me for being human
God forbid I change, God forbid I change

[Outro]
God forbid I change, God forbid I change
God forbid I change, maybe I’ll stay the same
Breakdowns don’t pay the bills
But sometimes they do
