If you`re in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-comin`
For these are changing days
And if your head is in the sand
While things are goin` on
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
Now if you`re in the habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who don`t see eye to eye
And if you don`t believe it
There`s a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
A change of habit, a change of outlook
A change of heart, you`ll be all right
The halls of darkness
Have doors that open
It`s never too late
To see the light
So if you`re in the habit
Of putting people down
Just because they`re different
From the wrong side of town
Well, don`t count on any medals son
They`re pinning none on you
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
