Looking For Changes

I saw a cat with a machine in his brain

The man who fed him said

He didn't feel any pain

I'd like to see that man take out that machine

And stick it in his own brain

You know what I mean

I saw a rabbit with its eyes full of tears

The lab that owned her had

Been doing it for years

Why don't we make them pay for every last eye

That couldn't cry its own tears

Do you kmow what I mean

When I tell you that we'll all be

Looking for changes

Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures

And we will learn how to grow

Well I tell you that we'll all be

Looking for changes

Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures

And we will learn how to grow

When we're looking for changes

I saw a monkey that was learning to choke

A guy beside him gave him cigarettes to smoke

And everytime that monkey started to cough

The bastard laughed his head off

Do you know what I mean

When I tell you that we'll all be

Looking for changes

Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures

And we will learn how to grow

When we're looking for changes

We're looking for changes

We're looking for changes

We're looking for changes in the way we are
