remember the days you were good enough just the way you were...
when it wasn’t all about just the way you looked...
when the only eyes that fall on you are to check you out...
man, time will change everyone around...

we do such strange things now that we’re proving ourselves to the world
it’s all about image and
we suffer in our silence
life's too busy intimidating everyone...

have you ever seen your parents struggling to make ends meet...
or even your own dad scrounging on the floor looking for change...
when your hard work feels in vain and you feel unappreciated
man, time will change everyone around...

we do such strange things now that we’re proving ourselves to the world
it’s all about image and
we suffer in our silence
life's too busy intimidating everyone...

you're afraid that he’ll say something or that she will turn you away...
if only you knew that they were scared too and that we spend our lives this way...

when you work hard for something good and you’re only judged by your pay,
man, time will change everyone around.

we do such strange things now that we’re proving ourselves to the world
it’s all about image and
we suffer in our silence
life's too busy intimidating everyone...
