[Intro] [clean arpeggiated electric guitar] [Verse 1] [bass and light drums enter] It's taken some time But I know now that I want to change my life Now I realize I'm the only one I can depend on Dreams of being a star don't get me as far as they used to The world is changing fast and I want to change right with it But I'm not gonna be anybody's fool Oh no [drum fill] [Chorus] [distorted electric guitars enter, heavy drums] Hey Mr. Politician man Says he's got the answers this time But if you believe in him you're a fool And you're just getting taken in And you're just people who don't really know what's going on Don't you know that the party only lasts for so long See people living in the street Begging for the meal of the day Hey brother you gotta change your life Or you're gonna be that way someday [Bridge] [rhythmic drum break, palm-muted guitar] Hey Mr. Moneymaker man Remember that you can't take it with you You better enjoy it while you can 'Cause the next life might not be so good for you Your spirit and mind are weak As you live your life in the material scene You're lost and you don't even know it The day for you will come Where you'll answer for all that you've done I wish you luck 'cause you're gonna need it Hey! [vocal shout, drum solo fill] [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar, heavy rhythm section] [Outro] [clean arpeggiated guitar returns] Taken some time But I know now that I want to change my life In times before I lived for the moment Never wanted to be responsible Or practical [distorted guitars re-enter] Now I realize I'm the only one I can depend on Dreams of being a star don't get me as far as they used to The world is changing fast and I want to change right with it But I'm not gonna be anybody's fool And I'm not gonna be anybody's fool To see once our world to die You've gone stray from the light To see once our world to die [final drum hit]
