[Verse 1]

They told me to meet on the one-hundredth floor

I walked up the stairs 'cause I wanted some more

They gave me the key and I went through the door

And then I was higher than ever before

[Chorus]

Change

If you wanna

(If you wanna)

Or stay the same

There's no difference in the end

Shame

That you gotta

(That you gotta)

Play the game

Every dollar gets you off

[Verse 2]

Up here where the sun has a beautiful shine

To light up perverted American minds

The white hand of luxury, so cool and refined

No trace of the miserable people outside

[Chorus]

Change

If you wanna

(If you wanna)

Or stay the same

There's no difference in the end

Shame

That you gotta

(That you gotta)

Play the game

Every dollar gets you off

[Bridge]

A rip at the seam

There's dirt on your sleeve

The fading facade of a white collar dream

No country or cause

You're lost in the fog

Your skin fits so tight now you can't move at all

[Chorus]

Change

If you wanna

(If you wanna)

Or stay the same

There's no difference in the end

Shame

That you gotta

(That you gotta)

Play the game

Every dollar gets you off
