Something's going on, change is taking place   Children smiling in the streets have gone without a trace   This street used to be full, it used to make me smile   And now it seems that everyone is walking single file      And many hang their heads in shame   That used to hold them high   And those that used to say hello   Simply pass you by      Think for a minute, stop for a minute   Think for a minute, stop for a minute      I always said it could, they never thought it could   The people look so pitiful, I'm thinking that it should   And now it's almost here, now it's on its way   I can't help saying, told you so and have a nice final day      And nothing I could say   Could ever make them see the light   Now apathy is happy that   It won without a fight      Think for a minute, stop for a minute   Think for a minute, stop for a minute      And many hang their heads in shame   That used to hold them high, think for a minute   And those that used to say hello   Simply pass you by, stop for a minute      Think for a minute, stop for a minute
