The Changes Lyrics
B. R. HornsbyThe scene is set, everybody's in placeTwo chairs filled for every five gone to wastePantsuit girl gives me a nasty gazeShe says play that on your own timeWalk to the bandstand blow my hornNobody knows what we're really here forLet's take it out hard till they show us the doorIt's us against them tonightPlay the changesMake the changesHear the changesTake it out hard till they show us the doorA girl with a nose ring said to meShe said where's the joy in your deliveryI said maybe there's not supposed to beAny real joy at all hereShe sat there with that plaster smileAs we sit jiving but in a little whileHolding her hair she joined the single fileAnd walked on down the hallPlay the changesMake the changesHear the changesUs against them tonightThe owner says he thinks we need some workGot a place for you, got some roadworkLaying asphalt on the interstateNobody cares and why should theyA white girl in a dashiki says you're all the rageMy friends and I think you're quite the sageWear a kofu and a finger guageTo see which way the wind blows todayPlay the changesMake the changesHear the changesTo see which way the wind blows todayOld friend Dave with the silver spoonSays why don't you play those good old tunesGive it up now you could fill the roomI say there's nothing like a good Trane tuneChangesThese things called changesWhere do we go from here?
