Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
I know change is a bad thing
Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing
Not some iridescent grateful butterflyI'll resist with defiance
Not the valor of a mystic silence
I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbyeAnd it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alrightPlease don't say you don't love me
Never dangle any sword above me
With the kind of change that severs me in twoGive me amberizing glasses
Could you slow it down like molasses
As I salvage my old self away from you?Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alrightBecause I have seen insane things
All those grand, historic paintings
Morning light on polished swords and burnished prideAnxious smiles encased in whalebone
Spines of steel from head to tail bone
Cannons poised to blast the turning of the tideIt's a sad and a strange thing
But it's time and I am changing
Into something good or bad, well, that's your guessI'm my own sovereign nation
Dedicated to a transformation
Marching on with this target on my chestOh yes, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alrightOh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
