lyrics

The walls are decorated with moving pictures of celebrations
Demonstrations by potential models and idols so as to set you forth potentially on future delegations
Talkative walls get renovations
It's like the times change, maybe they don't, how could I see?
I'm just a pigeon falling victim to the powers that be
At least til I become my own man who owns an orchard with no hourly fees
Develop flavor for palette without a ballot
Power is valid only in that it's grounded in prowess
Heavy is the head that wear the crown but is doubted
He who can't imagine what he'd amount to without it is bound to imbalance
It's like the times change, yeah they probably do
Just take a guess and keep on following you
Just take me to the eye of the storm where it's quiet and warm
And we can all go on flying along

So there's a rock in my bedroom, a carpeted floor
Beside it a step-stool, above is my ceiling fan
Outside the door's a dealing hand
And a war for better meal plans
Here they stand with real demands
It's like the times change, wait, what was I saying?
That's right, something about the language of waiting
I know if I'm patient and I stay in a wait then
I've got this map up on the palm of my hand to graceland
And I can take it when the time is right
Yeah, I'ma take it when the time is right
But I'm just conscious of the contents of my wallet
With this ladder by my window and this yeti in my closet
It's like the times change, but what if they don't, how could I see?
I'm just a victim to the powers that be
Take me to the eye of the storm where it's quiet and warm
And we can all go on flying along

So now I got a job, promotion is coming
I got here by believing in something
To think that I was just a seedling a couple decades past
Now I breathe easy and I tend to laugh
It's like the times change, read the news today
It told me that we're broke as hell, so I threw it away
Now I speak no evil while my hands are adequate
Today could be my last, so I dance cadaverous
Dead man walking and I'm proud of it
Who you think today's man of the hour is?
It all depends on who's included in your analysis
When I sleep I dream of owning two palaces
It's like the times change, yeah they probably do
Just take a guess and keep on following you
Just take me to the eye of the storm where it's quiet and warm
And we can all move on flying along
