According to Townshend later, Moon, struggling with his addiction to alcohol, was unable to drum at the 6/8 time signature the song required. As a result, Townshend walked around the studio and recorded the sounds of his footsteps instead.

Music Must Change Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound
Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists
It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists

But the high has to rise from the low
Like volcanoes explode through the snow
The mosquito's sting brings a dream
But the poison's deranged

[Chorus 1]
The music must change
For we're chewing a bone
We soared like the sparrow hawk flied
Then we dropped like a stone

Like the tide and the waves
Growing slowly in range
Crushing mountains as old as the Earth
So the music must change

[Verse 2]
Sometimes at night, I wake up and my body's like ice
The sound of the running wild stallion, the noise of the m-m-mice
And I wondered if then I could hear into all of your dreams
I realize now it was really the sound of your screams

But death always leads into life
But the street fighter swallows the knife
Am I so crazy to feel
That it's here prearranged

[Chorus 2]
The music must change
It's gets higher and higher
Smoldering like leaves in the sun
Then it bursts into fire

Its rhythm grows strong
It's so new and so strange
Like bells in the clouds, then again
The music must change

[Bridge]
But is this song so different
Am I doing it all again?
It may have been done before
But then music's an open door

[Verse 1]
Deep in the back of my mind there's an unrealized sound
Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists
It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists

But the high has to rise from the low
Like volcanoes explode through the snow
The mosquito's sting brings a dream
But the poison's deranged

[Chorus 2]
The music must change
For we're chewing a bone
We soared like the sparrow hawk flied
Then we dropped like a stone

Like the tide and the waves
Growing slowly in range
Crushing mountains as old as the Earth
The music must change
