CHANGE THE TUNE
All your old heroes are calling a bluff.
Now you`re out making messes in the name of love.
All your old newspapers collecting dust,
there`s nothing in them you ain`t read about anyway.
Giving a nickel and stealing a dime,
drinking champagne when you thinking it`s wine.
There`s more to all this than just touches and time
and even your heroes are learning it everyday.
The time has come to change the tune.
You think it`s morning but it`s late afternoon.
All your old habits will be given up too soon.
The time has come to change the tune.
You say you`ve seen it before in the eyes of the brave:
a later tomorrow and an earlier grave.
It`s one thing to borrow, another to save.
Just when will you follw and just when will you stay.
Going down highways not lit so well.
Now they`re making it something that`s easy to sell.
Maybe I`m saying what I shouldn`t tell
`cause even your heroes are wondering what to say.
The time has come to change the tune.
You think it`s morning but it`s late afternoon.
All your old habits will be given up too soon.
The time has come to change the tune.
