Story Behind The Song
the incompetence of bankers and the ignorance and naivete of believers in any religion are both regular targets for my rants...this song has the added element of money-worshipping oil magnates who would, in their blind greed destroy the most precious thing we have; to wit, the earth that sustains us.
Song Description
a song about some of the most dangerous people on the planet; bankers, believers in religion and greedy oil executives...all are exploiters of people and/or the earth's resources...
but, even though there is little hope for serious improvement in the reasoning and rationality of these groups, I persevere in the belief that eventually (perhaps after many generations) people will see the damage that is being caused by their ignorance!
the CHANGES that are likely to occur SOON as a result of the actions of these people are calamitous ones, however,
I maintain an optimistic approach that if we don't annihilate ourselves first, positive CHANGES will take place...one day

Lyrics
chorus
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
verse I
well, ban-kers all help them -sel-ves
to what they can ta -ke
af-ter the tax-man's had his share
of the mon-ey you make
well, it's saf -er to keep your sta-sh hid
un-der your b-e-d
than l-et some gree-dy br-ok-er
lose it for you in-st-e-ad
chorus
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
verse II
& the lies that we tell to our ch-ild-ren
we be-lieve our-selves
that one day if we're good we'll go to heaven
'n if we're not we'll go to hell
we got-ta try to break the ch-ains
that keep us a-p-a-rt
& try to keep an open mind
with an open heart
chorus
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
verse III
there's a river running
past my back door
& it just doesn't taste as sweet
like it did before
cuz ever since they started frackin'
the water's gone bad
but we're gonna fight to put it right
we want back what we had
chorus
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
& I see changes comin'
changes comin' soon
