Change

"Boingo" Version | "Farewell" Version

[Note: In the original, I only did some of that party "scene".. the most prevalent parts. Also, the "Farewell" version is CD *ONLY.* The DVD/VHS version is slightly different. I might do that later.]

"Boingo" Version

Don't you ever wonder why nothing ever seems to change
If it does, it's for the worse, 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 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

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 and

(Ooh, la la-la)
Hey, don't you know
(La la la la la-la la la)
We're just products of our time and
(Ooh, la la-la)
Hey, what do you say
(La la la la la-la la la)
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
(La-la la la)

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

Do you want to change?
Do you want to change right now?
Do you want to change?

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

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 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 effort, sweat, and broken hearts, the screaming and the tears

And I'm dreaming again
And I'm dreaming again
And I'm dreaming again...
I'm dreaming again
And I'm dreaming again
I'm dreaming again
And I'm dreaming again
I'm dreaming again
And I'm dreaming again

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

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 dreamin' again
And I'm dreamin' again
And I'm dreamin' again
And I'm dreamin' again

(Speaking)
Woman: Well, well who else did you know? What other famous people did you know?
Man: Oh, uh, you name 'em. I went to, uh South American with Richard Nixon.
Woman: Oh, yes?
Man: I went to uh... South America...
Woman: Richard Nixon!?
Man: And it.. and it really wasn't that funny. Heh...

Woman 2: Did you see the Joneses?

Baby, sometimes I worry 'bout you
Sometimes you're so far away, tell me what to do and I say
Baby, sometimes I worry 'bout you
Sometimes I just can't believe everything you do, I say
Baby, sometimes I worry 'bout you
Every day I feel the same, don't you feel it too, I say
Baby, sometimes I worry 'bout me
(I've been feeling too much pain, sometimes I worry about me)
Seems I'm falling down a lot in between the scenes, I say
(Seems I'm falling down a lot, never change, never change)
Baby, sometimes I worry 'bout me
(Don't you ever wonder why, nothing ever seems to change)
Getting harder all the time, harder now to see, I say
(Getting harder all the time, never change, never change)
Baby, sometimes I worry 'bout me
(Sometimes when I take a peek, 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...

Do you really want to, really want to
Hey, what do you say
Hey, what do you say
Please don't ever

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 and

Hey, don't you know
(Ooh la la-la)
We're just products of our time and
(La la la la la-la la la)
Hey, what do you say
(Ooh la la-la)
If I show you yours, will you show me mine
(La la la la la-la la la la-la la la)

Hey, what do you say
Hey, what do you say
Please don't leave
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

Ahhhhhhhh

And I say, baby, sometimes I worry 'bout you
Getting oh so far away, tell me what to do and I say
Baby, sometimes I worry 'bout you
Every day I feel the same, don't you feel it too, and I say
