Change - Live Lyrics by Oingo Boingo

Farewell: Live from the Universal Amphitheatre, Halloween 1995

1996

[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
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 Break]
[Verse 3]
I like my stupid life just the way it is
And I wouldn't even change it for a thousand flying pigs!
‘Cause I like you, just the way you are
I like your face, just the way it is
And I wouldn't even change it for a herd of screaming kids
‘Cause 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
I like my 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
‘Cause I'm dreaming, again
‘Cause I'm dreaming, again
[Interlude / Vocalizing]
[Bridge]
I say, baby, sometimes I worry about you
Getting oh so far away, tell me what to do
And I say, baby, sometimes I worry ‘bout you
Everyday I feel the same; don't you feel it too?
And 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
Light another cigarette, never change, never change
(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?
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 change!
[Outro]
Never change!
Never change!
Never change!
Never! Never! Never! Never!
Change
