You can have anything in this world today
You can have all you desire just as long as you can pay
All you need is an open checkbook and credits from your heart
But with all those bills you've had it's a pity we had to part
So you wanna change the world
With what you say
So you wanna change your life
With yesterday
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
Ended up with a pension book at the age of 25
I just needed some hard cash to help me to survive
You woke up late this morning to find the day had gone
Is it because you're lazy or there's just no work to be done
So you wanna change the world
With what you say
So you wanna change your life
With yesterday
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
So I'm sorry baby, we couldn't build a home
But with just empty pockets, we couldn't get that loan
We could have carried on with all your kindness and your care
But when the money's gone there's no more left to share
So you wanna change the world
With what you say
So you wanna change your life
With yesterday
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
(Ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da, ba-da-da-ba-da)
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
