Change (Early Live Version) lyrics
by Danny Elfman
[Verse 1]
Don't you ever wonder why
Nothing ever seems to change?
If it does, it’s for the worst
Seems it's just a modern curse and
Sometimes, when I take a peek
Outside of my little cage
Everything looks so asleep
Will they die, before they wake?
[Chorus]
And, hey, don't you know?
We're just products of our time
And, hey, what do you say?
Show me yours; I'll show you mine
[Verse 2]
Better dumb and happy than
Smart and without any friends
Better cute and better loud;
Better join up with the crowd and
Keep up or bе left behind;
Therе's a dust storm in my mind
Seems I can't see straight these days
Doesn't matter, anyway
[Chorus]
And, hey, don’t you know?
We're just products of our time
And, hey, what do you say?
Show me yours; I'll show you mine
Yeah
[Hook]
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, what do you say?
Please, don't ever
Oh, God, here's that question now!
The one that makes me go insane!
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never
Never, never, never change
[Instrumental]
Do you want to change?
Do you really want to change?
Do you want to change?
Do you really want to, really want to?
[Hook]
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, what do you say?
Please, please, please don't!
[Pre-Chorus]
Testaments and growing pains
Tranquilizers for the soul
Nothing ventured, nothing gained:
Evolution's cruelest joke and
Why is everyone upset?
I once knew, but I forget
Something happened, something strange;
Something it appears has changed
[Chorus]
And, hey, don’t you know?
We're just products of our time
And, hey, what do you say?
Show me yours; I'll show you mine
[Hook / Outro]
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, what do you say?
Please, don't ever!
Oh, God, here's that question now!
The one that makes me go insane!
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never change!
Never change!
Never change!
Never change!
Never, never, never, never
Change
