Man was a knife expert kind of a Jim Bowie type
Swagger and bluster and coonskin
I said, "You're not serious, right?"
Then I saw him grab my friend by the hair
I guess I should have prayed
As he dragged him around, I said to myself,
"There's gonna be some changes made"
A girl I knew and loved alone for years from afar
With a finger to her lips she led me out to see the stars
She led me down to the grinning lake and in it we did wade
She took my hand and put it there - gonna be some changes made
Gonna be some changes, changes made
Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days
Look in the mirror I see a clown's face
Got to take it off, got to get myself straight
Gonna be some changes, some changes made
Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days
Better figure out something
Things are looking grave
Gonna be some changes, changes made
Up in front for all to see I'm graceful like a bumbling fool
Then I thought I felt slip from my mouth a little drool
Maybe no one noticed it, on my mind heavily it weighed
I saw two people snickering
I said "there needs to be some changes made"
Gonna be some changes, changes made
Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days
Look in the mirror I see a clown's face
Got to take it off, got to get myself straight
Going home, I've done enough to soil my little name
Going where the fields are green and I can do my macrame
A buffoon fumbling without a clue likes to shift the blame
And often feels betrayed, gonna be some changes made
Gonna be some changes, changes made
Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days
Look in the mirror I see a clown's face
Got to take it off, got to get myself straight
