Times Changed

And a cardboard box in Westminster is hard to
From the days of Krays in my teenage years
That�s makin� you so bad
Lads born to be the chosen one
And said this is what I think

Times changed

Times changed
Who�s trying to teach you how to live

I was hit by the way it�s changed

Some boys look older
Lots of leather and a tattooed breast
On the screen in this month�s fashion
Times changed
Times changed
What�s gotten into you
Times changed
We talked about this place and the way it was
Some of that fresh massive attack

Now the welfare state is a state of wealth
For some the hope is gone
Everybody knows
When we all knew our place
After seein� an old friend of mine
Times changed
And the young ones smile in jest
Then he turned up some of that speed metal
I heard a DJ spin in Brixton
Better this than some guru
These times changed

I rode the East End early yesterday

I saw a bastard slap his girl around
When you know
Here in the house of mass consumption
I walked the West End late last night
I said man have you gone mad
Times changed
These times changed

When a bloke could get a break before these
While the wise man sings in the cuckoo�s nest
You think love is anything when you
Times changed
Can�t get work, you think life is on TV
Where the ecstasy goes fast
You know times changed
Times changed

Call a home but you know

Everybody knows
