Half the kids who you grew up with
Were pushin’ prams by the time that they were just sixteen
If love is a drug then where is the cure
For the girl who used to talk to you about her dream

And all the boys with all their toys
Couldn't see the signs as we scorched our eyes with nicotine
And the grown ups said, listen to your heads
But our hearts were crying out for heroes on TV screens

Now this song is about you
Now this song is about

Changes in your mind, changes in your life
Changes in the times and the reason you can't sleep at night
Changes in your mind, changes in your life
Changes in the times and the reason you gave up the fight

Half the kids that aren’t pushing prams
Are now pushing pills to boys and girls who're half their age
And the pubs and clubs are full of drunks
They don’t remember the day they were born
Or even their mum or their names

An old man sings a tune
But he’s drowned out by a fight next to a fruit machine
And all of this, our hearts, our nation
Total lack of civilization, will it ever be the same?

Now this song is about you
Now this song is about

Changes in your mind, changes in our lives
Changes in the times and the reason you won’t sleep tonight
Changes in our mind, changes in our lives
Changes in the times and the reasons we gave up the fight

Now this song is about, is about, is about you
Now this song is about, is about, is about you
Now this song is about, is about, is about you
Now this song is about, is about, is about you
