lyrics

Change by Ed Englerth
An old woman sits at the corner
She sucks like kingdom come
Her lips around a cigarette
82 and on oxygen
She's got emphysema
She’s got a wheelchair
A man n’ a son are talking about her
As if she’s not there
How can she just sit there
She can hardly breathe
That’s what got her there
It’s the last thing she needs
Change why do we change
Johnny goes to the store
Buys himself a gun
When he gets back home
He’s mom says
Take it back you might shoot someone
He so sad he goes out the door
N’ shoots himself in the head
His mother forever wonders
What she could have done instead
Now she just sits there
She can hardly breathe
She wonders how she got there
It’s the last thing she needs
Change what really makes a change
What’s the core of our being
Skinner says there’s nothing
It's the layers of an onion
It’s the layers of conditioning
Who decides what game to play
Who enforces the rules
Who puts the maze in place
Who determines what we do
Change who says how we change
Change what kind of change
How much can we change
Nothing’s going to be the same
Everything’s going to change
Well maybe not everything
Is it all rewards and pain
Will we all be the same
What does it mean to change
What gets rearranged
Who loses and who gains
What the definition of insane
Always doing the same thing
And expecting things to change
Why do we change
How do we change
What do we change
Who do we change
Where do we change
Here’s my money can I have my change
I’ve heard it’s all vain
Will it hurt when I leave a stain
Ain’t going to miss that train.
