alarm clock crows at 6am
aint no time for toast and jam
roll out of bed and on your feet
make that cash so you could eat

sitting on the floor no money for heat
wrapped myself in my bed sheet
ceiling sprung a leak, now the roof caved in
nothing to do but drink my gin

it’s time for change
it’s time for change

walk in line, assembly time
in a bare market, done tighten your tie
countin the flies up on the wall
won’t be long til they get us all

stuck on the edge of the middle class
president deficit, kiss my ass
public housing on the god damn street
inflation and taxes six feet deep

it’s time for change
it’s time for change

i dont know what im doing here
the government knows the end is here
back in the bar, the gin is out of stock
the line for the bathroom’s around the block

when the feds come knocking on your front door
flush your drugs, and hide your whore
patriot act, our world falls grim
pour me another glass of straight up gin

it’s time for change
it’s time for change

(breakdown)

it’s time for change
no we can’t
