The cold war's over   The hot one's just begun   From the shivers to the fever   Could be too much sun      If a thing's worth doing   It's worth doing well   But if we don't get moving   We'll be roasting in hell      I've got to change my ways      In the house of dereliction   In the world of neglect   No one gives a bit about   What happens next      Reaching terminal velocity   Going out with a bang   Time to fill my pockets   Gonna take what I can      I've got to change my ways      If the truth be told   But then on the other hand   It's gonna get twisted   Any way you stand      Honesty's a virtue   Or so they say   That's a damn fool notion   Like a sense of fair play      I've got to change my ways      I bare my soul   Though I'm naturally shy   There's no point living   If I'm living a lie      I've had my share   Of disappointment and pain   But, I never felt the need   To point the finger of blame      I've got to change my ways
