Man was a knife expert Kinda of a Jim Bowie type, Swaggerin', blusterin', 'coon skin I said, "You're not serious, right?" Then I saw him grab my friend by the hair And I guess I should have prayed As he dragged him around, I said to myself, "There's gonna be some changes made" (Gonna be some changes made) Girl I knew and loved alone twenty years from afar With a finger to her lips she led me out to see the stars She led me down to the gritty lake and in it we did wade She took my hand and put it there - gonna be some changes made (Gonna be..) Gonna.. Be some.. Changes made Gonna be some changes made! (Gonna be some changes made) Gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight Gonna be some changes, some changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Better figure out something Things are looking grave Gonna be some changes, changes, changes made Up in front for all to see Graceful like a bumblin' fool Then I thought I felt slip from my mouth a little drool Maybe no one noticed it
On my mind heavily it weighed I saw two people snickering I said "there needs to be some changes made" (Snickering.. Gonna be some, gonna be some changes made Snickerin'..) (Gonna be..) Gonna .. Be some.. Changes made Gonna be some changes made! Gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Some changes made Going home, I've done enough to sow my little name Going where the fields are green and I can do my macram�© A buffoon fumblin' without a clue, who likes to shift the blame And often feels betrayed There's gonna be some changes made There's gonna be some changes made Gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight Gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight (gonna be some changes made) Gonna be some changes... Gonna be some changes.. Doo doo doo doo...
