If you're in old habits Set in your old ways Changes are a-comin' For these are changing days And if your head is in the sand While things are goin' on What you need, what you need, What you need is a change of habit
Now if you're in the habit To let your temper fly When you talk with people Who don't see eye to eye And if you don't believe it There's a newer world ahead What you need, what you need, What you need is a change of habit
A change of habit, a change of outlook A change of heart, you'll be all right The halls of darkness Have doors that open It's never too late To see the light
So if you're in the habit Of putting people down Just because they're different From the wrong side of town Well, don't count on any medals son They're pinning none on you What you need, what you need, What you need is a change of habit
