Change the Key

My call to change the world

Lyrics

I was sitting in a bar room at the dawn of time
I was breaking bread I was drinking wine
I was trying to play a chord that was new to me
“What's the point” said the Lord's anointed


“I didn't give you fingers that are double jointed
You're just gonna have to change the key"

I said
“Hey hey hey what's to do?
Hey hey hey I don't believe in you”

A man's got more money than he can spend
But he never gives, he only lends
On a high interest contract signed in blood
Down the street a family with next to nothin'
Gotta tighten their belts and cut their cloth
And quit believin' cos there ain't no Robin Hood

They say
|“Hey hey hey what's to do?
Hey hey hey we don't believe in you”

There's a lady executive up against the glass ceiling
There's a sense of injustice that she's feeling
Her boss gets paid as much as two hundred working men
She thinks he's great, but she's just as good
And she doesn't see why she should
Only get paid as much as a hundred and ten

They say
“Hey hey hey what's to do?
Hey hey hey we don't believe in you”

It's always been that way
Since the morning of that very first day
He's got a Thirty Nine Martin 45 but he don't play

"So what's to do?" said the Lord of alL
"If you wanna take it, that's your call
All I ask is you don't come whining to me
If you want it fixed, go ahead fix it
Push it, pull it, twist it, mix it
Like I told you before, you just gotta change the key”

He said
“Hey hey hey what's to do?
Hey hey hey I don't believe in you”

We all say
“Hey hey hey what's to do?
Hey hey hey I don't believe in you”
