He was the gifted kind
Unique and undefined
But things were happening all too slow
Found out the only way
Was acting on display
And signed up to be on the show
Got to sing the tunes that everybody knew
But the music lost its meaning
A world of iterations with no room for creation
Do you really want to carry on
Whatever happens to the old when comes the new
Don't build a river dam, it's time for changing
Where are the pioneers setting the new frontiers
Don't be a hardliner, it's time for changing
He fell out of the rank
Got shot point blank
Convicted by the jury
So the story goes
We've seen it all before
Next in line please hurry
Well, he lost the case
They found another face
To slice and dice six ways to Sunday
Whatever happens to the old when comes the new
Don't build a river dam, it's time for changing
Where are the pioneers setting the new frontiers
Don't be a hardliner, it's time for change
See the people rushing by
Got no time to wonder why
Happy to be orchestrated
What could they really feel
What would they really hear
If they only closed their eyes
Whatever happens to the old when comes the new
Don't build a river dam, it's time for changing
Where are the pioneers setting the new frontiers
Don't be a hardliner, it's time for changing
