This old house is a-tumbling down. The walls are gone but the roof is sound. The landlord’s deaf he can never be found. It’s time to ring some changes. They’ll arrest you son if you just stand still. They’ll ask you to pose with your hand in the till. They’ll ask you to die when you’ve written your will. It’s time to ring some changes. It’s time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. O the politicians they look so smug. You say tell the truth and they give you a shrug. You might find the truth swept under the rug. It’s time to ring some changes. You pay for your money for your daily bread. But the bread’s gone up so you need more money. The money’s gone down better borrow instead. It’s time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. O you fall in love with the girl you’ve seen. Diamond studded on a tv screen. But the change in your pocket won’t buy you a dream. It’s time to ring some changes. So you steal a car and you go for a ride. You end up sleeping with some girl guide. And everything you do leaves you empty inside. It’s time to ring some change. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes. Time to ring some changes
