When all of your friends say you
must make amends before they'll let you dance
And they threaten to ignore you
And your best friend, your father,
looks at you wondering who the hell asked for you
All the plays you used to say just bore you
All the presents they bring,
the praise they sing only makes a whore of you
Go on, let the hurtin' creep on through
Don't let it bother you
Don't let it blow your mind
It's only a sign of the changing times
And when all of the guys who said
they'd stand by you
Lie for you, die for you
Maybe even shut their
eyes and cry for you
An d now you see the tears they
bring were just bribes for you
For they'll bring you up and they'll
string you up crying baby blue
Let the hurting creep on through
Don't let it bother you
Don't let it blow your mind
It's only a sign of
the changing times
They want you to stay the same way
you were when they first saw you
They'll ask for love,
you go above and they'll do you up
Complaining that they're
bored with you
It's only a time for a change
in your mind
Leaves behind what you do
And when all the hippie
things you used to do
Only bother you,
only serve to amuse your laughing eyes
Try and explain that it's only the pain
of a change in your mind
When all those who warn
don't you find lies
They categorize, cut you down to size
They say, hey, you're hung up,
you know
They're just strung up in
a web of their kind
And you let it get you uptight
Don't let it bother you
Don't let it blow over your mind
It's only a sign, don't be behind
Only a sign of changing
times
