Lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't you ever wonder why Nothing ever seems to change? If it does, it's for the worst 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Hook] 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 [Instrumental] Do you want to change? Do you want to change, right now? Do you want to change? [Interlude / Vocalizing] [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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 efforts, sweat, and broken hearts The screaming and the tears And I'm dreaming, again And I'm dreaming, again And I'm dreaming, again [Interlude / Vocalizing] [Verse 6] 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 [Verse 7] 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 dreaming again And I'm dreaming again And I'm dreaming again And I'm dreaming again [Interlude / Spoken lines] "Well, well who else did you know?" "Why don't you speak [?] did you know?" "Oh, uh, you name them." "Yes?" "I went to, uh, South America with Richard Nixon." "Oh, yes?" "And, it uh, it really wasn't that funny." "Oh, Richard Nixon?" "Did you see the Joneses?" [Bridge] Baby, sometimes I worry about you Sometimes you're so far away, tell me what to do I say, baby, sometimes I worry about you Sometimes, I just can't believe everything you do I say, baby, sometimes I worry about you (Baby, sometimes I worry about you) Everyday I feel the same; don't you feel it too? I say, baby, sometimes I worry about me (I've been feeling too much pain) (Sometimes I worry about me) Seems I'm falling down a lot, in-between the scenes (Seems I'm falling down a lot) (Never change, never change) I say, baby, sometimes I worry about me (Don't you ever wonder why nothing ever seems to change?) Getting harder all the time, harder now to see (Getting harder all the time) (Never change, never change) I say, baby, sometimes I worry about me (Sometimes when I take a peak..) (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 [Hook] Do you really want to, really want to? Hey, what do you say? Hey, what do you say? Please, don't ever [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] And, hey, don't you know? We're just products of our time and Hey, what do you say? If I show you yours, will you show me mine? [Hook / Outro] Hey, what do you say? Hey, what do you say? Please, don't - Please! 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
