25 I was listening to the voices of death on parade
27 Singin' about conspiracy, wanting me to be afraid
29 Working for a system I couldn't understand or trust
31 Suffering ridicule and wanting to give it all up in disgust.
36 But you changed my life
38 Came along in a time of strife
40 In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
46 Talk about salvation, people suddenly get tired
47 They got a million things to do, they're all so inspired
48 You do the work of the devil you got a million friends
49 They'll be there when you got something, they'll take it all in the end.
53 But you changed my life
54 Came along in a time of strife
55 In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
60 When the nature of man is to beg and to steal
61 I do it myself, it's not so unreal
62 The call of the wild's forever at my door
63 Want me to fly like an eagle while being chained to the floor.
67 But you changed my life
68 Came along in a time of strife
69 In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
74 When I was eatin' with the pigs off a fancy tray
75 I was told I was lookin' good and to have a nice day
76 It all seemed so proper, it all seemed so elite
77 Eatin' that obsolete garbage while being so discreet.
81 But you changed my life
82 Came along in a time of strife
83 In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
88 You were glowing in the sun while being peaceable calm
89 While orphans of man dance to the beat of the palm
90 You eyes were on fire, your feet were of brass
91 In the world you had made they had made you an outcast.
95 But you changed my life
96 Came along in a time of strife
97 In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
102 There's someone in my body that I could hardly see
103 Invading my privacy making my decisions for me
104 Holding me back, not letting me stand
105 Making me feel like a stranger in a strange land.
109 But you changed my life
110 Came along in a time of strife
111 In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
116 My lord and my savior, my companion, my friend
117 Heart
"fixer, mind
"regulator, true to the end
118 My creator my comforter my cause for joy
119 While the world is set against what will never destroy.
