Time to Ring Some Changes

This old house is a-tumbling 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

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

Time to ring some changes

Time to ring some changes

Time to ring some changes

Time to ring some changes

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've written your will

It's time to ring some changes

Oh, the politicians they look so smug

You say "Tell the truth", they give you a shrug

You might find the truth somewhere under the rug

It's 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

Oh, you fall in love with the girl you've seen

Diamond-studded on a TV screen

The change in your pocket won't buy you a dream

It's time to ring some changes

So you steal a car and you go for a ride

You end up sleeping with some girl guide

But everything you do leaves you empty inside

It's 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

Time to ring some changes
