[Verse 1]
Don't you ever wonder why
Nothing ever seems to change?
If it does, it’s for the worst
Seems it's just a modern curse
Sometimes, when I take a peek
Outside of my little cage
Everyone looks so asleep
Will they die, before they wake?
[Chorus]
And, hey, don't you know?
We're just products of our time and
Hey, what do you say?
Show me yours; I'll show you mine
[Verse 2]
Better dumb and happy than
Smart and without any friends
Better cute and better loud;
Better join up with the crowd
Keep up or be left behind;
There's a dust storm in my mind
Seems I can't see straight these days
Doesn't matter, anyway
[Chorus]
And, hey, don’t you know?
We're just products of our time and
Hey, what do you say?
Show me yours; I'll show you mine
[Hook]
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, what do you say?
Please, don't ever
Oh, God, here's that question now!
The one that makes me go insane!
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never
Never, never, never change
[Instrumental]
Do you want to change?
Do you want to change, right now?
Do you want to change?
[Interlude / Vocalizing]
[Verse 3]
I like my stupid life just the way it is
And I wouldn't even change it
For a thousand flying pigs
And I like you, just the way you are
I like your face, just the way it is
And I wouldn't even trade it
For a herd of screaming kids
And I like you, just the way you are
[Verse 4]
I like you, though you may not like me back;
I would dazzle you with brilliance
If I only had the knack
'Cause I like you, just the way you are
[Verse 5]
I like this life just the way it is
And the castles all around me
Have been melting, now for years
And it kills my brain to think of
All the time I wasted here
All the efforts, sweat, and broken hearts
The screaming and the tears
And I'm dreaming, again
And I'm dreaming, again
And I'm dreaming, again
[Interlude / Vocalizing]
[Verse 6]
Floating in a pool of mud
Trying to get back where I was
And I, don't really care
Got a little talking to
By the mirror in my room
And I, don’t really care
Whispering voices from the dead
Come from underneath my bed
And I, don’t really care
[Verse 7]
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
And I'm dreaming again
And I'm dreaming again
[Interlude / Spoken lines]
“Well, well who else did you know?”
“Why don’t you speak [?] did you know?”
“Oh, uh, you name them.”
“Yes?”
“I went to, uh, South America with Richard Nixon.”
“Oh, yes?”
“And, it uh, it really wasn’t that funny.”
“Oh, Richard Nixon?”
“Did you see the Joneses?”
[Bridge]
Baby, sometimes I worry about you
Sometimes you're so far away, tell me what to do
I say, baby, sometimes I worry about you
Sometimes, I just can't believe everything you do
I say, baby, sometimes I worry about you
(Baby, sometimes I worry about you)
Everyday I feel the same; don't you feel it too?
I say, baby, sometimes I worry about me
(I’ve been feeling too much pain)
(Sometimes I worry about me)
Seems I'm falling down a lot, in-between the scenes (Seems I'm falling down a lot)
(Never change, never change)
I say, baby, sometimes I worry about me
(Don’t you ever wonder why nothing ever seems to change?)
Getting harder all the time, harder now to see (Getting harder all the time)
(Never change, never change)
I say, baby, sometimes I worry about me
(Sometimes when I take a peak..)
(Sometimes I worry about me)
Light another cigarette, have another dream (Light another cigarette)
(Never change, never change)
It's the same thing every day
Nothing ever seems to change, and I
[Hook]
Do you really want to, really want to?
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, what do you say?
Please, don't ever
[Pre-Chorus]
Testaments and growing pains
Tranquilizers for the soul
Nothing ventured, nothing gained:
Evolution's cruelest joke
Why is everyone upset?
I once knew, but I forget
Something happened, something strange;
Something it appears has changed
[Chorus]
And, hey, don’t you know?
We're just products of our time and
Hey, what do you say?
If I show you yours, will you show me mine?
[Hook / Outro]
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, what do you say?
Please, don't - Please!
Oh, God, here's that question now!
The one that makes me go insane!
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never change!
Never change!
Never change!
Never change!
Never, never, never, never
Change
