Just think about what you and I have been through   And tell me why I should not be afraid   I said I don't want to hear about the promises they told us   I don't wanna hear about the progress that they made      Slow change   Don't mean nothing to me      Well fear not, cause my fear soon turns to anger   As I watch my world get ruined by a pristine hand   And I'm out here, saying "Excuse me" like a stranger   Cause I never did learn how to say "Isn't this grand"      Slow change   Don't mean nothing to me      Black cat   Squashed flat...pretty gory      Came to play   Swept away...no big story      We shall overcome is what they tell us   But the sun goes down and dawns just too many times   That's all right, don't worry, in God do we trust   Besides, you went and got yours, so I guess I'll just go get mine      Slow change   Don't mean nothing to me      Slow change   Don't mean nothing to me      Slow change   Don't mean nothing to me
