Roger Daltrey - Times Changed lyrics

Everybody knows That times changed Hey yeah Times changed Some boys look older And the young ones smile in jest Lads born to be the chosen one While the wise man sings in the cuckoo's nest I walked the West End late last night After seein' an old friend of mine We talked about this place and the way it was When a bloke could get a break before these Times changed Ooh, these times changed Hey, these times changed Whoa, these times changed I heard a DJ spin in Brixton Some of that fresh ma**ive attack Here in the house of ma** consumption Where the ecstasy goes fast On the screen is this month's fashion Lots of leather and a tattooed breast Better this than some guru Who's trying to teach you how to live When you know Times changed Whoa, times changed Yeah, you know times changed Ooh, times changed Hey hey hey hey yeah I saw a ba*tard slap his girl around I said, "Man, have you gone mad? What's gotten into you That's makin' you so bad? You think love is anything when you Can't get work You think life is on TV" Then he turned up some of that speed metal And said, "This is what I think" I rode the East End early yesterday I was hit by the way it's changed From the days of Krays in my teenage years When we all knew our place Now the welfare state is a state of wealth For some the hope is gone And a cardboard box in Westminster is hard to Call a home but you know Times changed Ooh, times changed Oh, times changed Whoa, times changed Ooh Everybody knows Everybody knows They know that times changed
