Everybody knows / That times changed / Times changed

Some boys look older / And the young ones smile in jest

Lads born to be the chosen one / While the wise man sings in the

Cuckoo's nest



I walked the West End late last night / After seein' an old friend of mine

We talked about this place and the way / It was

When a bloke could get a break before / These



Times changed / These times changed

These times changed / These times changed



I heard a D.J. spin in Brixton / Some of that fresh massive attack

Here in the house of mass consumption / Where the ecstasy goes fast

On the screen is this month's fashion

Lots of leather and a tattooed breast

Better this than some guru / Who's trying to teach you how to live

When you know



Times changed / Times changed

You know times changed / Times changed



I saw a bastard slap his girl around / I said man have you gone mad

What's gotten into you / That's makin' you so bad

You think love is anything when you / Can't get work

You think life is on T.V. / The he turned up some of that

Speed metal / And said this is what I think



I rode the East End early yesterday / I was hit by the way it's changed

>From the days of Krays in my / Teenage years

When we all knew our place / Now the welfare state is a state of wealth

For some the hope is gone / And a cardboard box in Westminster is

Hard to call a home / But you know



Times change / Times change

Times change / Times change



Everybody knows / Everybody knows

They know that times changed
