Tears For Beers - Time To Ring Some Changes lyrics

(Richard Thompson)

This old house is a tumbling down

The walls are gone but the roof is sound

The 3. deaf, he can never be found

It's time to ring some changes

They'll arrest your son if you just stand still

They'll ask you to pose with your hand in the till

They'll to die when you've written your will

It's time to ring some changes

It's time to ring some changes

It's time to ring some changes

It's time to ring some changes

You earn you're money for your daily bread

But The bread's gone up and you need more money

But the money's gone down better borrow instead

It's time to ring some changes

Now the politicians, they look so smug

They say tell the truth and then they give you a shrug

You might find the truth swept under the rug

It's time to ring some changes

Now listen here to a self made man

He says why can't you if I can

Can't you push buttons, can't you make plans

It's time to ring some changes

I'm going to tear this mansion down

Get my feet back on the ground

Penny for penny and pound for pound

It's time to ring some changes
