It's been around for some twenty years
I carry a torch in my own way
But how long can a good thing last?
I start hearin' people say
The good, the bad, and the ugly
They, they've all taken their turn
So light a candle and watch the flame, watch the flame
Until there's nothin' left to burn
Hey boys, we're all in this thing together
And hey boys, we've all been waiting forever
But a change is gonna come
Heh! Hey, boys
Hey, boys, hey, boys
We've all played musical chairs
Been left out in the cold
There comes a time, a time for change, yes it does
And then we'll have control
I'm gettin' tired of that same old song
I wanna do more than shout, yeah
Someday our turn will come around, yeah
It's comin' without a doubt
Hey boys, we're all in this thing together
Hey boys, we've all been waiting forever
And a change is gonna come
A change is gonna come
Yeah, it's gonna come
Hey, hey, boys
Yeah, it's just around the corner
Now, hey boys, hey boys
A change is gonna come
We've all played musical chairs
Oh, but a change is gonna come
Yeah, oh, a change is gonna come
Now, hey boys, hey boys
A change is gonna come
Oh, hey boys, hey boys
