Oingo Boingo - Change lyrics

Don't you ever wonder whynothing ever seems to change

If it does it's for the worseseems it's just a modern curse

Sometimes when I take a peek outside of my little cage

Everyone looks so asleepwill they die before they wake

Andhey. . . don't you know? we're just products of our time and hey . . .

What d'ya say? show me yoursI'll show you mine

Better dumb and happy than smart and without any friends

Better cute and better loudbetter join up with the crowd

Keep up or be left behindthere's a dust storm in my mind

Seems I can't see straight these daysdoesn't matter anyway

Hey . . . don't you know? we're just products of our times and

Heywhat d'ya say? show me yoursI'll show you mine

Heywhat d'ya say? heywhat d'ya say? please don't ever -

Oh godhere's that question now. the one that makes me go insane

I'd gladly tear my heart out if you nevernevernevernever change

Do you want to change? do you want to change right now?

Do you want to change . . . I like my stupid lifejust the way it is

And I wouldn't even change it for a thousand flying pigs

And I like you just the way you areI 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 areI like you though you may not like me back

I would dazzle you with brillianceif I only had the knack

'cause I like you just the way you areI like this life just the way it is

And the castles all around mehave been melting now for years

And it kills my brain to think of all the time I wasted here

All the effortssweatand broken heartsthe 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 toby the mirror in my roomand I don't really care . . .

Whispering voices from the deadcome 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 awaytell me what to do

I saybaby . . . sometimes I worry about you

Sometimes I just can't believe everything you do

I saybaby . . . sometimes I worry about you

Every day I feel the samedon't you feel it too

I saybaby . . . sometimes I worry about me

Seems I'm falling down a lotin between the scenes

I saybaby . . . sometimes I worry about me

Getting harder all the timeharder now to see

I saybaby . . . sometimes I worry about me

Light another cigarettehave another dream

It's the same thing every daynothing ever seems to change and I . . .

Do you really want to change?

Testaments and growing pains. tranquilizers for the soul.

Nothing venturednothing gained - evolution's cruelest joke

Why is everyone upset? I once knew but I forget. something happened

Something strangesomething it appears has changed

Hey . . . don't you know? we're just products of our times

And heywhat d'ya say? show me yoursI'll show you mine

Heywhat d'ya say? heywhat d'ya say? please don't ever -

Oh godhere's that question nowthe one that makes me go insane

I'd gladly tear my heart out if you nevernevernevernever change
