Change Yourself
Glenn Hughes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't confuse me with the drama
Now and then you lose your karma
Don't you trust yourself at all the life you've lead?
Why do you keep looking back? You move ahead

Don't throw your life away
You got so much to say
Anticipatin'

In this crazy world you must change yourself
In this open road you must change yourself
In this crazy world you must change yourself
Nothing lasts forever

Confiscate your malady your blindness
Kill the root of evil and madness
You have worn the color black for far too long
So you go no turning back, you won't be wrong

Don't throw your life away
You got so much to say
Anticipatin'

In this crazy world you must change yourself
In this open road you must change yourself
In this crazy world you must change yourself
Nothing lasts forever but the song

In this crazy world you must change yourself
In this open road you must change yourself
In this crazy world you must change yourself
Nothing lasts forever

In this crazy world you must change yourself
In this open road you must change yourself
In this crazy world you must change yourself
Nothing lasts forever but the song
Nothing lasts forever but the song
Nothing lasts forever





You've gotta change yourself
Yourself
