Time To Ring Some Changes Lyrics

Tears For Beers Time To Ring Some Changes

(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
