I need a new direction Another thought to serve me right My mind has got an infection 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
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 – an 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
Newflash – 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 – an all day routine 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
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
Changes – all around me now, all inside me now Changes – wanna cry no more, sigh no more
