Hey Boys

It's been around for some twenty years

I carry a torch in my own way

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

Yeah, someday our turn will come around, yeah

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

Change is gonna come, yeah, it's gonna come

Hey, hey boys



Yeah, it's just around the corner

Now, hey boys, hey boys

Change is gonna come



We've all played musical chairs

Oh, but a change is gonna come

Yeah, oh, a change is gonna come

Now, hey boys, hey boys

A change is gonna come

Oh, hey boys
