That's just the way it is Things will never be the same Come on come on I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth living should I blast myself? I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black My stomach hurts so I'm lookin'

Money won't change you Get it, get it, get it, get it I said, "Money won't change you But time will take you on" Get on up, get on up Come on, baby Everybody stand up Raise your hands Told me, darling, that you had to go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh written in the stars A million miles away A message to the mane Seasons come and go But I will never change And I'm on my way

And from the flames As chance would have it The soulforged will come into light And from the flames as chance would have it The soulforged, The stainless will rise I will never change my mind I will leave it all behind I'm not insane

Let me take you far away You'd like a holiday Longing for the sun you will come Exchange the cold days for the sun A good time and fun Exchange your troubles for some love Wherever you are To the island without name Longing for the sun be welcome

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! But I will never change And I'm on my way Oh written in the stars A million miles away A message to the mane Seasons come and go

Sanitarium, just leave me alone Sanitarium, leave me be Welcome to where time stands still No one leaves and no one will Moon is full, never seems to change Just labeled mentally deranged Dream the same thing every night I see our freedom in my sight No

I will never believe in anything again Oh change will come Oh we will never believe again Preach electric to a microphone stand We will never believe again They broke the mold Girls used to follow me around Throw your cameras in the air And wave 'em like

Lose my mind Maybe heaven right now is a devil or angel away That won't change Together we vow that our colors will sparkle the faith I will reach you Or I, I, I will lose my mind I will lose my mind Can we freeze, come and surrender our rights and wrongs

It was The Feast and the Famine Feast and the Famine To the dreams we forget? We need a monument And change will come Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?) Anybody there? (Anybody there?)
