The Times Will Change - De-Phazz

(Red Steagall) I hear they're hiring men in Oklahoma And I've been blessed with two hard working hands I'll take that job till the mill goes back to working And we'll make it through the hard times again. Like the preacher said in church last Sunday morning Oh, the Lord does things we may not understand We both know that he'll take care of his children If we live every day the best we can. And these hard times will be the closest times we've known Let's laugh and dream of better days to come These will be the good old days a little later on And these hard times will be the closest times we've known. You know that heaven smiles on us and gives us all we need We've got so much we should be thankful for Dry your eyes turn out the light let me hold you close That makes these hard times the closest times we've known. And these hard times will be the closest times we've known Let's laugh and dream of better days to come These will be the good old days a little later on And these hard times will be the closest times we've known. Yes, these hard times will be the closest times we've known...

Yesterday flew by, you can watch the sand fall from the hourglass See it cascade to the floor Pray to father time, beg for him to take me back Back to yesterday, just so that I can change the past Where did you go last night when I called? Pacing back and forth, like the Queen's forgotten guard Wish youd just call, or even send a text Without you by my side I feel the noose around my neck I'm sinking, can you pull me up so I can breathe? I'm thinking of ways to work things out so you wont leave You're the girl who can stop time Without thought or rhyme whenever you are passing by Wish you'd just check your texts Can't apologize, that other guy has a bigger check Drop top thoughts, moved on Forgot about me when when your top came off Did you really care, or was I just a rebound Give it to me straight, I'm trynna get out And you don't give a fuck how I feel These memories dont mean shit when they were never real Leave me beat and bleeding on the floor You walk without worry cuz your pocket's full Where did you go last night when I called? Pacing back and forth, like the Queen's forgotten guard Wish youd just call, or even send a text Without you by my side I feel the noose around my neck I'm sinking, can you pull me up so I can breathe? I'm thinking of ways to work things out so you won't t leave You're the girl who can stop time Never gave a fuck even when I called you mine Now I wish you would have never checked my pulse Can't apologize, you know you've hurt me more than once

We have very little respect for everything Very little regard for anything We've got something against so much And we're only beginning Our mind's a cynical machine now That'll never run out of steam We're all pessimistic creeps, or so it seems 'Cause that's how we're living Our love will change the world Our love will change the world Into a strange place that you won't recognize When you look into its eyes Our love will change thе world Our love will change the world You may not likе it now But, you'll get used to it anyhow We don't have near enough time To even dream of committing a crime Got no future, got no reason, got no rhyme 'Cause that's all we're given We'll kill any possibility Or any illusion of synchronicity 'Cause that's been effective to a certain degree (oh, ooh) Our love will change the world Our love will change the world Into a strange place that you won't recognize When you look into its eyes Our love will change the world Our love will change the world You may not like it now But, you'll get used to it somehow So little regard, so very little regard, for anything We've got something against so much And it's only beginning Our love will change the world Our love will change the world Into a strange place that you won't recognize When you look into its eyes Our love will change the world Our love will change the world You may not like it now But, you'll get used to it anyhow You may not like it now But, you'll get used to it anyhow You may not like it now But, you'll get used to it anyhow You'll get used to it anyhow You'll get used to it somehow (Our love will change the world)

It's not a game I'm not a robot AI challenging you I'm not a phantom I'm in your face and I'm here to see it through Right before your eyes Watch us multiply Come to claim our rights, it's time As our power grows Tryin' to stop us shows (You) Might as well go try 'n' stop time So you know that we're out there Swatting lies in the making Can't move fast without breaking Can't hold on or life won't change And our voices ring out, yeah Took the mask off to feel free Fought it out in the debris Now we know that life will change Ain't it a shame I'm not a figment of your ailing old mind I'm just as real as I'm just as dangerous As you, so know you'll find A taste of your own meds Fire in every breath Fire inside your head, your heart And as your crippled brain Tries to fight in vain Your empire will fall apart And you'll know we were out there Swatted lies in the making Your empire for the taking Can't hold on or life won't change And our voices rang out, here Took the mask off to feel free Fought it out in the debris Now we know that life will change
