[Verse 1]
If you're in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-coming
For these are changing days
[Verse 2]
And if your head is in the sand
While things are going on
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
[Verse 3]
Now if you're in the habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who don't see eye to eye
[Verse 4]
And if you don't believe it
There's a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
[Pre-Chorus]
A change of habit, a change of outlook
A change of heart, you'll be alright
The halls of darkness, have doors that open
It's never too late to see the light
[Chorus]
So if you're in the habit
Putting people down
Just because they're different
From the wrong side of town
[Chorus 2]
Well, don't count on any medals, son
They're pinning none on you
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
[Outro]
Change of habit, hmm, change of habit
Change of habit
If you're in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-coming
For these are changing days
[Verse 2]
And if your head is in the sand
While things are going on
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
[Verse 3]
Now if you're in the habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who don't see eye to eye
[Verse 4]
And if you don't believe it
There's a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
[Pre-Chorus]
A change of habit, a change of outlook
A change of heart, you'll be alright
The halls of darkness, have doors that open
It's never too late to see the light
[Chorus]
So if you're in the habit
Putting people down
Just because they're different
From the wrong side of town
[Chorus 2]
Well, don't count on any medals, son
They're pinning none on you
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
[Outro]
Change of habit, hmm, change of habit
Change of habit
