Promise of Change 1996 Your problems are your problems Don't push them off on me Don't make excuses for yourself Show some bravery You've put off everything that's important But you can't put off all your time Life's too short to be so lazy So lazy you'd force a rhyme You say you've changed But it's the same change you made The last time you made a change You lie your way through every day The truth is you're just a liar You've been everywhere and done everything You'd think you invented fire Your discoveries are always your inventions Your stories just never stop If lies were corn, wheat, or cabbage You'd have a bumper crop You say you've changed But it's the same change you made The last time you made a change The only loyalty you've ever shown Is your loyalty to what's false The only faith you've had is in the things you've lost The childhood innocence you had Is just something you've outgrown The things you should do you don't do And what you don't know you've known You say you've changed But it's the same change you made The last time you made a change
