Lyrics

Refuse trucks outside my window
The council are banging on the door
Asking me if I'm still shielding
Or trying to keep the wolf from the door?
There's an amnesty for everything broken
24 hours to speak the unspoken
There's always someone cut off from the truth
Who needs leading back out into the open
So turn off the television set
Tune out the radio network
Tune into yourself, make good with someone else
You once knew before the hammer fell
Your enemy could be your neighbour
Or the Prime Minister's Chief Confidante
At home, we all have to stand up naked
Some get dressed before they go back to bed
Don't you know the times are changing?
News channels are not about news
They just speculate and use other people's views
They're not about the truth or uncovering the proof
They destroy lives like they burn fossil fuel
And It's all someone else's fault
It's all someone else's problem
Hands up, the first person who has never made a mistake in his or her life?
I got a vacuum cleaner running through the house
It's collecting up all of the grime
The germs still exist, they're out there unseen
No bleach is gonna wash them from off of the streets
Now you can't have strength without weakness
You can't have love without hate
Try as you might
You can't wipe out
The opposite to everything created
The times re-arranging
Right in front of my eyes
Time waits for no one
Not anyone
You need harmony within yourself
To see harmony in anyone else
Your eyes do not lie, and if you treat people kind
They can separate the truth from the lie
Failure does not exist
At least not if you try
The first rung on the ladder is only a dice throw away
From falling down with the snakes and the losers
Keep your eyes on the things that you value
The thing that you see as the prize
There's always a price, and you might have to pay it twice
For living the quiet life
The times are changing
Right here, right now
The times re-arranging
Right in front of my eyes
Time goes by
I ride the wheels of life
24 hours every night
Seven days a week
One hour, one minute, one second
Until time runs out
The times are changing
Right here, right now
The times re-arranging
Right in front of my eyes
Time goes by in the blink of an eye
Time goes by
The times are changing
The times are changing
