Changes (Blast From The Past Version)

I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got a affection
And there's nothing that seems to help.

I need to grow an island
Somewhere inside my head
Where nothing can disturb me
Where I am free, where I'm forever set.

Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive
I never, ever wanna listen to the sirens
I'm alive, still alive, alive.

Who says, "We are not guilty"?
I say, "We never know the way it goes".

Changes all around me, all inside my head
Changes changing face, still remaining mad
Changes in all day routine.

Hard to enjoy the good times
Decay is what I feel
God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.

[Newsflash under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law
Relax and don't forget to unplug your TV set]

Sigh no more for you, you are not guilty
No, no, you're not responsible at all.

Changes all around me, all inside my head
Changes changing face, still remaining mad
Changes changing systems, still insane
Changes but the madness will remain, changes.

Who is the man who says I'm never gonna die?
It's a lie, it's a lie
And who is the man who says, I never have to sigh?
It's a lie, it's a lie.

Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.

All around me, all inside me now
Changes wanna cry no more, gonna sigh no more.

(Changes)
Wanna cry no more, gonna sigh no more
(Changes)
Wanna cry no more, gonna sigh no more
(Changes)
Wanna cry no more.
