time to ring some changes (1990) - richard thompson lyrics
[verse 1]
this old house is a*tumblin’ 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
[verse 2]
they’ll arrest you, son, if you just stand still
they’ll ask you to pose with your hand in the till
they’ll ask you to die when you’v written your will
it’s time to ring some changes
[chorus]
time to ring some changes
time to ring some changes
time to ring some changes
time to ring some changes
[verse 3]
oh, you earn your money for your daily bread
but the bread’s gone up so you need more money
the money’s gone down, better borrow instead
it’s time to ring some changes
[verse 4]
now the politicians, they look so smug
you say, “tell the truth” and they give you a shrug
you might find the truth swept under the rug
it’s time to ring some changes
[chorus]
time to ring some changes
time to ring some changes
time to ring some changes
time to ring some changes
[verse 5]
oh, listen here to the self*made man
who says, “why can’t you if i can?
can’t you push b*ttons? can’t you make plans?”
time to ring some changes
[verse 6]
well, i’m gonna tear this mansion down
get my feet back on the ground
penny for a penny and pound for a pound
it’s time to ring some changes
[chorus]
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
[instrumental outro]
