Music Must Change
The Who

Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound
Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists
It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists

But the high has to rise from the low
Like volcanoes explode through the snow
The mosquito's sting brings a dream but the poison's derange

The music must change for we're chewing a bone
We soared like the sparrow hawk flied then we dropped like a stone
Like the tide and the waves, growing slowly in range
Crushing mountains as old as the earth, so the music must change

Sometimes at night, I wake up and my body's like ice
The sound of the running wild stallion, the noise of the mice
And I wondered if then I could hear into all of your dreams
I realize now it was really the sound of your screams

But death always leads into life
But the street fighter swallows the knife
Am I so crazy to feel that it's here prearranged?

The music must change, it gets higher and higher
Smouldering like leaves in the sun then it bursts into fire
Its rhythm grows strong, it's so new and so strange
Like bells in the clouds, then again the music must change

But is this song so different?
Am I doing it all again?
It may have been done before
But then music's an open door

Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound
Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists
It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists

But the high has to rise from the low
Like volcanoes explode through the snow
The mosquito's sting brings a dream but the poison's derange

The music must change for we're chewing a bone
We soared like the sparrow hawk flied then we dropped like a stone
Like the tide and the wave, growing slowly in range
Crushing mountains as old as the earth, the music must change
