[Verse 1]

Do you ever just stop to think

About the stars and the moon

(And the universe)

Everything but the kitchen sink

Is on the news

(For better or worse)

But I know what I said

And I believe it's true

(Believe it's true)

When it's all said and done

It's up to you

(To see it all through)

[Chorus]

I don't mean to complain

But when will the world ever change

I mean, something has got to give way

Before the end of our days

[Verse 2]

Do you ever just stop to think

About a whale in the zoo

(Monkey see, monkey do)

Thanks for your visit

Please come back soon

(And bring a friend)

'cos I know what I said

And I believe it's true

(Believe it's true)

When it's all said and done

It's down to you

(To see it all through)

[Chorus]

I don't mean to complain

But when will the world ever change

I mean, something has got to give way

Before the end of our days

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

I don't mean to complain

But when will the world ever change

I mean, something has got to give way

Before the end of our days

Now, I don't mean to complain

But will it always remain this way

Take the time to make a change

Before they take it away
