I met my self in 20 years time It was a shadow, it was not me I looked around and I was sickened to think Is this all my life could be
Stepped off the train, well home again Three years away, now a brand new start Nothing to show but a bag of clothes And all my memories hidden deep within my heart
Chorus I got to change, ain’t no point In doin the same foolish things again I got to change Something’s gotta change, either me Or my life will slowly fall apart I got to change
You see these men that we all know Well working seven days a week Give all their money to the barman And pittance for their wives to keep
Well it’s an easy trap I fell into A different way of life Spend what earned the rest I burned Drinking to sleep well every night
Chorus I got to change, ain’t no point In do in the same foolish things again I got to change Something’s gotta change, either me Or my life will slowly fall apart I got to change
