CHANGES

Disappointed by the way this shit works Disappointed by the way that God talks Back to its people I'm divided by my thoughts I'm invited by myself Drink some blood Make a toast To the ones I love the most But wait a minute Last time I checked I don't think I was permitted To complain Lord forgive me My soul ain't pretty Feeling shame Cause back in the day I was too timid To ask for what I want What I needed I'm a big boy now But I still feel it Change ain't gon' come Change ain't gon' come Tell me is it true cause I heard Ain't gon' come Change ain't gon' come Change ain't gon' come Tell me is it true cause I heard Ain't gon' come You got me fucked up Change ain't gon' come Elegant flows For a change Man I'm on it Let me travel you The way I only know how Back and forth Vibes out the north Oh wow Appreciation profound For these chords and rhythm Out the Eden garden Meaning always in the foreground Like a hidden pattern no doubt I got you interested on what I'm interested Its almost compound So tell me what do you want Change ain't gon' come Change ain't gon' come We don't read and write poetry Because it's cute We read and write poetry Because we are members Of the human race And the human race is filled with passion And medicine, law, business, engineering These are noble pursuits and necessary To sustain life But poetry, beauty, romance, love These are what we stay alive for To quote from Whitman O me O life of the questions Of these recurring Of the endless trains of the faithless Of cities filled with the foolish What good amid these O me O life Answer that you are here That life exists, and identity That the powerful play goes on And you may contribute a verse That the powerful play goes on
