.
I'm just a simple working man
Gettin' by the best I can
In this crazy mixed-up muddled-up world that I live in.
.
I'm a middle class sort of a guy
I'm not rich but I get by
Pretending that I know just what I'm doin'.
.
I'm a well bred upper class sort of chap,
I don't care much about this and that
Even when I know there's trouble brewin'.
.
We think there's a change in the weather
We've got to learn to stick together.
We've seen the thunder clouds in the sky,
I wanna live, I don't wanna die.
.
I think the weather's changing, I hope the weather is gonna change.
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day.
I think there's a change in the weather, I hope good weather is here to stay,
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day.
.
See the holocaust risin' over the horizon,
Gonna see a manifestation, total chaos, devastation,
Anticyclone and tornados brewin',
Gonna feel the lightnin' strikin',
Thunder clap smoke a frightnin',
.
There's gonna be evil doin',
There's trouble brewin',
Everybody scared,
Too much thunder, too much fightin'.
.
Heavy storm clouds comin',
Gonna cover up the sun
And gonna terrify everyone,
Better pack up your bags and run.
.
I think there's a change in the weather, I think the weather is going to change.
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day.
I think there's a change in the weather, I hope good weather is here to stay.
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day.
