[Verse 1]
Poor little estate kids
Knock down ginger and rob the offy
Better wear gloves, don't say no names
We'll get away clean if we rob it properly
Carry tools that chop down trees
With our hands on these no need for spinach
Big strong boys eat all their veg
But big bad boys might steal your dinners, yeah
Couple man here lost their head
Duck feds, they lost a ped
Drown the tool down the drain
Lost an arm, it cost a leg
But if you're caught with that
First offence, that's four years flat
Fix the fence and door to your flat
'Cause the feds don't knock when they're storming the gaff
Don't knock what we did to survive
Even if some never did get revived
Deal with big bird but you never meant to kill him
Who knew you could die from a slit in the thigh?
[Pre-Chorus]
In the blink of an eye you can lose it all
The delicate nature is beautiful
[Chorus]
Things are changing, things are changing
Things are changing round 'ere
Things are changing, things are changing
Things are changing round 'ere
Things are changing, things are changing
Things are changing round 'ere
Things are changing, things are changing
Things are changing round 'ere
[Verse 2]
Back and forth like badmen-en
I was back and forth on a badman ting
On course for a capturing
Though it never did end up happening
Well, at least to me but others fell
In the belly of a beastly cell
All for sales made through a cell
Phone home, tell 'em that you're well
Well, hear mum start welling up
I guess we didn't sell enough
'Cause if Pfizer wants you hooked on pills
Goddamn it, then it be willed
No charges if someone's killed
When the Pharma's big and the lawyer's skilled
New flats and new prison builds
Both of them will soon end up filled
Move 'em in, ship 'em out
The barbershop is now a coffeehouse
Come back home and they locked you out
It's all craft beer here, no Dragon Stout
[Pre-Chorus]
In the blink of an eye you can lose it all
The delicate nature is beautiful
[Chorus]
Things are changing, things are changing
Things are changing round 'ere
Things are changing, things are changing
Things are changing round 'ere
Things are changing, things are changing
Things are changing round 'ere
Things are changing, things are—
I just can't keep up
[Breakdown]
One, two, three, four
In the blink of an eye you can lose your life
In the blink of an eye you can lose your life
In the blink of an eye you can lose your life
In the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye you can lose your life
In the blink of an eye you can lose your life
In the blink of an eye you can lose your
You can lose your, you can lose your life
[Outro]
You can't fight change
But we'll try
