 Doesn't it bring you  do--wn
 So many lights and  sounds
Call  your mom  on the tel-e-phone
 Tell her you're coming  home
 Tell her there's not  a chance
 You're ever going to change  the world
 (INTRO)
If  you want to be free,  take a sip of this tea
 Join the red oyster cult
If  you drink the whole cup,  you will never grow up
 You will never grow old
Remember  when you were four-teen
 You'd paint every picture so  green
Call  your mom  on the tel-e-phone
 Tell her your muse is  gone
 Tell her there's not  a chance
 You're ever going to change  the world
 Just a few drops away, you're never gunna change the world

 Tell her there's not  a chance
 You're ever going to change  the world
 Just a few drops away, you're never gunna change
