[Verse 1: Johnny Franck]

Can we take this down a notch?

My voice is reborn, my throat is re-torn

Have you lost all faith in us?

We’re the same as before, don’t settle the score

Why stay the same forever

When this change sounds so much better?

Maybe you should do this for us

If you’re so damn smart

[Chorus: Johnny Franck]

I’ll pray for progress, I’ll count my losses

God forbid I change, God forbid I change

Forget about where I’ve been, forgive me for being human

God forbid I change, God forbid I change

[Verse 2: Johnny Franck]

What did you expect?

We’re getting older, we have more to tell

And the last time that I checked

Living in the past never worked out well

I’ll sing these lyrics 'til I can’t anymore

Until the phlegm in my throat spews out on the floor

Have your own opinion, you’re entitled to it

As long as it’s not stupid and total bullshit

[Pre-Chorus]

"Complete. Bollocks. Piss off."

[Chorus: Johnny Franck]

I’ll pray for progress, I’ll count my losses

God forbid I change, God forbid I change

Forget about where I’ve been, forgive me for being human

God forbid I change, God forbid I change

[Bridge: Johnny Franck]

I will never drown, I will build my throne

Can you feel my heart? It never ends with a moan

I will never drown, I will build my throne

Can you feel my heart? It never ends with a moan

[Chorus: Johnny Franck]

I’ll pray for progress, I’ll count my losses

God forbid I change, God forbid I change

Forget about where I’ve been, forgive me for being human

God forbid I change, God forbid I change

[Outro: Johnny Franck, Mike Martenson]

God forbid I change, God forbid I change

God forbid I change, maybe I’ll stay the same

Breakdowns don’t pay the bills

But sometimes they do
