If you're in old habits

Set in your old ways

Changes are a-comin'

For these are changing days

And if your head is in the sand

While things are goin' on

What you need, what you need,

What you need is a change of habit



Now if you're in the habit

To let your temper fly

When you talk with people

Who don't see eye to eye

And if you don't believe it

There's a newer world ahead

What you need, what you need,

What you need is a change of habit



A change of habit, a change of outlook

A change of heart, you'll be all right

The halls of darkness

Have doors that open

It's never too late

To see the light



So if you're in the habit

Of putting people down

Just because they're different

From the wrong side of town

Well, don't count on any medals son

They're pinning none on you

What you need, what you need,

What you need is a change of habit
