Change Is Coming

Change Is Coming - Paco del Stinko

Well they tell you stories of how they're gonna make everything alright
No more poverty, they'll make new jobs, put an end to urban blight
Though we've heard it all before when they lie right to our face
Something this time ain't the same, there's a darkness you can taste
And you just know that it's gonna rain

You can build a wall but it won't stand
When it's torn down by ten million hands
The sun will rain fire, increase the desire
Of every boy girl woman and man

There ain't no use in running
Cos ch-ch-ch-ch-change (Change) is coming


The pillar of ice rises high
A false beacon of hope in the night
But self serving needs, grow in the garden like weeds
And eventually consumes all in sight

There ain't no use in running
Cos ch-ch-ch-ch-change (Change) is coming


Most sheep are content in the flock, munching on grass with a head full of rocks
But some are easily led astray, with the promise of gold and a heart full of hate
Can these sheep over-run all the rest, well I don't know but it's anyone's guess
Don't stand on the out as a watcher, or you'll be easily led to the slaughter

There ain't no use in running
Cos ch-ch-ch-ch-change (Change)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change (Change)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change (Change) is coming
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

"Change is Coming"
by Jon Eric


Bottle up your thoughts 'til you've got no bottles left
Don't want them thinking you're a snob
Fantasize a gun, and linger on its heft
Another entry level job

Nobody calls you "sir," and you still think that's strange
A lot is riding on how well you cope with change
And I don't know when change is coming
But change is coming


Memorize some faces, shake some hands and smile
Pretend you saw that hockey game
Half listen to your manager, thinking all the while
God, don't let me forget his name

You miss the bus and wait another half an hour
There's something on you that won't wash off in the shower
And I don't know when change is coming
But change is coming


And I
Know that you're longing
For home and your family you miss
And I
Know in my heart that it
Has to get better than this


So bottle up your thoughts 'til you've got no bottles left
[empty line]
Fantasize a gun, and linger on its heft
[empty line]

Another chance, another life to rearrange
So much depends upon you putting up with change
And I don't know when change is coming
No, I don't know when change is coming
I don't know when change is coming
But change is coming
Change is coming

Change Is Coming
Pigfarmer Jr

The president signed the NDAA
Say they can take you and me
We don't have the right to a trial by jury
And now we know, we're no longer free

And still the people bow and pray
to their god the government
I hope someday that we will wake up
And realize we do not consent

Change is coming
No use running
They'll come for you and me
If you will stop this
Then you must fight, it's
the high cost of liberty
Be free
You and me
Liberty

And we use drones to drop the bombs
Killing women and kids
And people who say they read the bible
Are doing things, the things that it forbids

They say it's the price we pay
To live in society
We give up our rights one by one
And still we say, we still say we're free

Change is coming
No use running
They'll come for you and me
If you will stop this
Then you must fight, it's
the high cost of liberty
Be free
You and me
Liberty

There's no use crying now
No use crying now
They all break their vows
to you and me

Change is coming
No use running
They'll come for you and me
If you will stop this
Then you must fight, it's
the high cost of liberty
Change is coming
No use running
They'll come for you and me
If you will stop this
Then you must fight, it's
the high cost of liberty
Be free
You and me
Liberty

Macaque Attack - "Change Is Coming"
---------------------------------------------

Verse 1
-------
Late summer lights.
Infernal sights, so thrilling.
Embers low glow.
The scalded rows, a killing.
These childhood heights.
These cooling nights, less chilling.
Change is coming.

Chorus 1
----------
Such great power in such weak hands.
Respect the life, preserve the land.
Consequence of action taught.
Flames were fanned, a childhood fought.

Verse 2
-------
Such lessons learnt.
As Gods they were, in training.
Dance, cooling flames.
Our mortal games, life waning.
Earth scarred and burnt.
Nourishment yearned, regainging.
Change is coming.

Chorus 2
----------
Such great power in such weak hands.
Respect the life, preserve the land.
Consequence of action taught.
Flames were fanned, a childhood fought.

Chorus 3
--------
Such great trust in minds so young.
The smokey heat, warms the lungs.
Confidence and caution taught.
Flames were fanned, a childhood fought.

Chorus 4
----------
Such great faith in wide-eyed boys.
Compose themselves, amid the noise.
Seas of flame, their senses gorged.
Wisdom gained, minds were forged.

Change is Coming by Mister Johnny Cashpoint

War on everyone
Doesn’t sound much fun.
Change is gonna come -
Change is coming, son ...

Change for change’s sake -
How much can you take?
With so much at stake
How long ‘til you break?

(Change is coming - something's got to change - something's go to ...) x2

Time for you to run -
Straight into the sun.
Time something was done -
Change is coming, son ...

CHORUS

Change is coming,
You won’t like it much -
‘Tl that change is here when you’ll just
Wonder what it was you were fearing...

(Something's got to change is coming - something's go to ...)

CHORUS

A Change Is Coming
by Pepper Jane

Chorus 1
They say a change, a change is comin
Oh if I, I could stop running
They say a change would do me good
I'm not sure it would

The weather came, the weather went
Without a clue whether it was heaven sent
Did I grow? How will I know?

I travelled far, I travelled light
What was on the other side?
I reached too far, I stopped too short

Chorus 1

What will I learn? What will I choose?
A heavy burden it is to choose
What will I gain to stay the same?

Chorus 2
They say a change, a change is comin
I can hear the whistle hummin
Crystal clear, beside my ear
(whispered) It's nearly here
Everything is about perspective. :shock:

Change Is Coming

People won't ever see eye to eye
When they are always head to head
The parties and their great divide
Keep the fury and hatred fed

I'm not down with the RNC
Parting death to the GOP
I'm not down with the DNC
Or any of the rivalry

Change is Coming
One Way or Another
Change is Coming

Folding their arms they hold their breath
Nothing gets done but they still get paid
Subsidizing oil with guns and death
Disguised in the form of help and aid

I'm not down with the military
Forced in spreading democracy
I'm not down with policy
or any violent bureaucracy

Change is Coming
One Way or Another
Change is Coming

Making America Great Again

Change is Coming
One Way or Another
Change is Coming

Republican whores have made their bed
Cringing at who they lie beside
And by their greed we'd all be dead
While eating our boot straps to survive

I'm not down with voracity
Piggies face deep in gluttony
I'm not down with apathy
leading to others agony

Change is Coming
One Way or Another

Change is Coming
by Jerkatorium

You don’t go places that you used to
You don’t enjoy the stories that you’re used to
You can’t stand anyone you’re introduced to
Sitting home alone is what you’ve been reduced to

Something happened long ago inside you
Now it’s back, your life won’t be the same
All the signposts that used to guide you
Got pulled up by something, don’t know when it came

but change is coming
it's funny and it's faint
yes change is coming
with noses thumbing
oh change is coming
the running refrain
so humming and strange
our upcoming change

Your friends they act like they don't recognize you
And all these parts they say now that comprise you
They preferred the skin that once disguised you
So hard to shake the thought that they all now despise you

but change is coming
it's funny and it's faint
yes change is coming
with noses thumbing
oh change is coming
the running refrain
so humming and strange
our upcoming change

The you that you are now’s the only you you are
You can't go back to who you once were before
Got no choice, ya gotta be true to who you are
Genie won’t go back inside that bottle any more

yes change is coming
it's funny and still faint
more change is coming
so i’m succumbing
to what you’re becoming
like an oncoming train
it's humming and strange
this upcoming change

Change is Coming
by glennny

the day will come for you to reckon
around the cornerless tomorrow
your memory of exquisite blisses
your lofty dreams have turned to sorrow

had enough of the status quo
I can barely breathe

ready or not, change is coming
the fates are humming
the future’s tune
it’s not what you thought
change is coming
you settled down way too soon

you suspect a disaster will surely follow
the boundless possible reactions
the new redo is feeling hollow

say goodbye to the status quo
it’s now history

ready or not, change is coming
the fates are humming
the future’s tune
it’s not what you thought
change is coming
you settled down way too soon

permanence can come and go
respect the entropy
if you think that you may know
check your facts and see

ready or not, change is coming
the fates are humming
the future’s tune
it’s not what you thought
change is coming
you settled down way too soon
