Lyrics
Hey Boys
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's been around for some twenty years.
I carry a torch in my own way.
But how long can a good thing last?
I start hearin' people say.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
They, they've all taken their turn.
So light a candle and watch the flame.
Watch the flame, until there's nothin' left to burn.
Hey, boys, we're all in this thing together.
And hey, boys, we've all been waiting forever.
But a change is gonna come.
He! Hey, boys!
Hey, boys, hey, boys!
We've all played musical chairs
Been left out in the cold
There comes a time a time for change, yes it does
And then we'll have control.
I'm gettin' tired of that same old song.
I wanna do more than shout.
Yea, someday our turn will come around, yea
It's comin' without a doubt.
Hey, boys, we're all in this thing together.
Hey, boys, we've all been waiting forever.
And a change is gonna come.
A change is gonna come.
Yea, it's gonna come!
Hey, hey, boys!
Yea, it's just around the corner
Now, hey, boys, hey, boys
A change is gonna come.
We've all played musical chairs.
Oh, but a change is gonna come.
Yea, oh, a change is gonna come.
Now, hey, boys, hey, boys.
A change is gonna come.
Oh, hey boys, hey, boys!
Hey boys! Hey, boys!
