Change
I cannot hide; I cannot run
They dog me on the street
They're tied to me forever
Like shadows neath my feet
And if I let 'em catch my eye
I know what to expect
They'll take my hand and call me "Sir"
And treat me with respect
They want change, just a little change
They want change, just a little change
They curse me when I turn away
I guess they understand
A man with everything he needs
Won't give a good God damn
He won't give a damn
If alcohol could cure a man
Then all drunks would be well
They wouldn't die in alleyways
Or rot in prison cells
So when I get to feeling low
I take a drive downtown
And watch them stagger out of bars
And pass that poison round
They want change, just a little change
They want change, just a little change
They curse me when I turn away
I guess they understand
A man with everything he needs
Won't give a good God damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
I guess the simple truth it is
I know I'm just like them
I like to have a drink or two
And party with my friends
Well I'd like to leave my life behind
But then I think again
I'm jealous of their liberty
But I can't take their pain
I need change, just a little change
I need change, just a little change
I curse them when I turn away
I guess I understand
A man with everything he needs
Won't give a good God damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
They dog me on the street
They're tied to me forever
Like shadows neath my feet
And if I let 'em catch my eye
I know what to expect
They'll take my hand and call me "Sir"
And treat me with respect
They want change, just a little change
They want change, just a little change
They curse me when I turn away
I guess they understand
A man with everything he needs
Won't give a good God damn
He won't give a damn
If alcohol could cure a man
Then all drunks would be well
They wouldn't die in alleyways
Or rot in prison cells
So when I get to feeling low
I take a drive downtown
And watch them stagger out of bars
And pass that poison round
They want change, just a little change
They want change, just a little change
They curse me when I turn away
I guess they understand
A man with everything he needs
Won't give a good God damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
I guess the simple truth it is
I know I'm just like them
I like to have a drink or two
And party with my friends
Well I'd like to leave my life behind
But then I think again
I'm jealous of their liberty
But I can't take their pain
I need change, just a little change
I need change, just a little change
I curse them when I turn away
I guess I understand
A man with everything he needs
Won't give a good God damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
He won't give a damn
