(Richard Thompson)     This old house is a tumbling down   The walls are gone but the roof is sound   The 3. deaf, he can never be found   It's time to ring some changes   They'll arrest your son if you just stand still   They'll ask you to pose with your hand in the till   They'll to die when you've written your will     It's time to ring some changes   It's time to ring some changes   It's time to ring some changes   It's time to ring some changes     You earn you're money for your daily bread   But The bread's gone up and you need more money   But the money's gone down better borrow instead   It's time to ring some changes   Now the politicians, they look so smug   They say tell the truth and then they give you a shrug   You might find the truth swept under the rug   It's time to ring some changes     Now listen here to a self made man   He says why can't you if I can   Can't you push buttons, can't you make plans   It's time to ring some changes   I'm going to tear this mansion down   Get my feet back on the ground   Penny for penny and pound for pound   It's time to ring some changes
