The Laws Must Change - John Mayall

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 derange 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 Change! Sometimes at night, I wake up and my body's like ice The sound of the running wild stallion, the noise of the 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? 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 Change! 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 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 derange 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.

Everything Must Change I was never one to back out of an argument and say I was wrong, Even when I'd seen the other side I'd hide my foolishness and carry on But still I'd be embarrassed 'Cos they'd see what happened and they's play along Until I back myself into a corner I would only realise when they had gone And like a dream, a life, a reason, Everything must change (Everything, Everything Must Change) And like a world, this earth and seasons Everything must change (Everything, Everything Must Change) In the same way when we disagree I woudn't be the one to back down Still I'd know that you had faith in me Tell me something, am I letting you down? 'Cos when I woke up and I saw the note you pressed into the mirror frame But it was easy to be angry at you But deep inside I know we share the blame And like a dream, a life, a reason, Everything must change (Everything, Everything Must Change) And like a world, this earth and seasons, Everything must change (Everything, Everything Must Change) I'm going back to the top to start myself off But first of all somethings I Need to know When I'm scared of being wrong again, Won't you be the one I turn to to let Me know, oh, let me know, oh Please, let me be right for once 'Cos right now all I feel I do is wrong And it's never too late to learn about love And this victim needs your hand To hold on And like a dream, a life, a reason, Everything must change (Everything, Everything Must Change) And like a world, this earth and seasons, Everything must change (Everything, Everything Must Change) And like a dream, a life, a reason, Everything must change And like a world, this earth and seasons, Everything must change (Everything Must Change, Everything Must Change) And like a dream, a life, a reason, Everything must change And like a world, this earth and seasons, Everything must change...

Everything has changed The sky don't shine or rain Stars don't walk me home So I go this road alone But everything will turn And the heroes feel the burn And the outlaw speaks the truth I was bravering by you No, I'm not the same But everything must change Everyone is gone The dogs don't get along Cracks run through the wind Can't live here, no one could But everyone will come With dreams and things they've won Little women start to dance Broken men get a second chance No one is the same But everything must change I just wanna go I just wanna go, go outside and roam I just wanna see I just wanna see the holy sun Said and done I can't wait no longer Longer, longer. Where is all the love? Round here we all look up And the love runs over the edge And I just need a friend And everywhere there's light In the dying start to fight And the ashes blow away It's the most beautiful day When it's time to say goodbye Sweet mother, don't you cry There'll be no more pain Cause everything must change Everything must change Everything must change

I? m Crying Yes, I? m Crying And I just don? t know How it? s all going to end I? m thinking back a long time When I hit my woman down It was a bad bad evil night When I realized what I? d done It was way too late, too late Too late for words and I? m Crying In torment sometimes We hurt each other so bad Nobody to turn to, no going back No such thing as God for us No more to touch her body No more to stroke he rhair All I can do is break down in tears I? m Crying and wondering Where am I now because of what I did I just don? t know and I? m Crying It was a long time ago The pain is over now But I still think back sometimes And remember how I cried I was Crying Top

I? ve traveled the world and had no time to rest I? ve played for people every day Living from a suitcase from town to town Till my nerves began to fray Dreaming of the day I? d stay at home I feel like I? ve been on the move too long Eight years of on the road Got me a place in the burning sun Found me the way to go I? m building up a house to make a home Found a great love I was looking for Two people now are one Her clothes in the closet and her with me Everything is always fun Once we had a huose but now it? s home Build up your rooms and decorate your walls That? s all you have to do Work in your way till you find your peace And life can be made for you It? s good to fell the peace and quiet of home
