It's been around for some 20 years, I carry a torch in my own way
But how long can a good thing last? I start hearing people say
The good, the bad and the ugly, they've all taken their turn
So light a candle and watch the flame, watch the flame
Until there's nothing left to burn
Hey boys, we're all in this thing together
And hey boys, we've all been waiting forever
But a change is gonna come
Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys
We've all played musical chairs, been left out in the cold
There comes a time, a time for a change, yes it does
And then we'll have control
I'm getting tired of that same old song
I wanna do more than shout
Someday our turn will come around
It's a coming without a doubt
Hey boys, we're all in this thing together
Hey boys, we've all been waiting forever
And a change is gonna come
A change is gonna come
Yeah, it's gonna come
Hey boys
It's just around the corner
Hey boys, hey boys, a change is gonna come
We've all played musical chairs
But a change is gonna come
A change is gonna come
Hey boys, hey boys, a change is gonna come
