Change - Oingo Boingo
Don't you ever wonder why, nothing ever seems to change If it does it's for the worse, seems it's just a modern curse Sometimes when I take a peek outside of my little cage, Everyone looks so asleep, will they die before they wake And, hey. . . Don't you know? We're just products of our time and Hey . . . What d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine Better dumb and happy than smart and without any friends Better cute and better loud, better join up with the crowd Keep up or be left behind, there's a dust storm in my mind Seems I can't see straight these days, doesn't matter anyway Hey . . . Don't you know? We're just products of our times and Hey, what d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine Hey, what d'ya say? Hey, what d'ya 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 Do you want to change? Do you want to change right now? Do you want to change . . . I like my stupid life, just the way it is And I wouldn't even change it for a thousand flying pigs And I like you just the way you are, I like your face just the way it is And I wouldn't even change it for a herd of screaming kids And I like you just the way you are, I like you though you may not like me back I would dazzle you with brilliance, if I only had the knack 'Cause I like you just the way you are, I like this life just the way it is And the castles all around me, have been melting now for years And it kills my brain to think of all the time I wasted here All the efforts, sweat, and broken hearts, the screaming and the tears And I'm dreaming again . . . Floating in a pool of mud Try to get back where I was and I don't really care Got a little talking to, by the mirror in my room, and I don't really care . . . Whispering voices from the dead, come from underneath my bed And I don't really care . . . I like my stupid life just the way it is And the chaos that surrounds me like a flock of screaming pigs And it hurts my brain to think of all the stupid things I've said And if I could change the future I would change the past instead And I'm dreaming again . . . and I'm dreaming again . . . Baby - sometimes I worry about you Sometimes you're so far away, tell me what to do I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about you Sometimes I just can't believe everything you do I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about you Every day I feel the same, don't you feel it too I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me Seems I'm falling down a lot, in between the scenes I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me Getting harder all the time, harder now to see I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me Light another cigarette, have another dream It's the same thing every day, nothing ever seems to change and I . . . Do you really want to change? Testaments and growing pains. Tranquilizers for the soul. Nothing ventured, nothing gained - evolution's cruelest joke Why is everyone upset? I once knew but I forget. Something happened, Something strange, something it appears has changed Hey . . . Don't you know? We're just products of our times And hey, what d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine Hey, what d'ya say? Hey, what d'ya 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
