Time To Ring Some Changes lyrics

(Richard Thompson)

This old house is a tumbling down
The walls are gone but the roof is sound
The 3. deaf, he can never be found
It's time to ring some changes
They'll arrest your son if you just stand still
They'll ask you to pose with your hand in the till
They'll to die when you've written your will

It's time to ring some changes
It's time to ring some changes
It's time to ring some changes
It's time to ring some changes
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/tears_for_beers/time_to_ring_some_changes.html ]
You earn you're money for your daily bread
But The bread's gone up and you need more money
But the money's gone down better borrow instead
It's time to ring some changes
Now the politicians, they look so smug
They say tell the truth and then they give you a shrug
You might find the truth swept under the rug
It's time to ring some changes

Now listen here to a self made man
He says why can't you if I can
Can't you push buttons, can't you make plans
It's time to ring some changes
I'm going to tear this mansion down
Get my feet back on the ground
Penny for penny and pound for pound
It's time to ring some changes
