Testo Times change Madchild

Times change

I am recognizing that the voice inside my head
Is urging me to be myself and never follow someone else
Because opinions are like voices, we all have a different kind
So just clean out all your ears, these are my views and you will find

I learned a lot about myself over the last few years
Like at shows I’m an asshole after a few beers
It took so long for me to get my foot in the door
Worked hard, going on tour ‘til we couldn’t no more
Drive around in a minivan sleeping on the floor
Then eventually you move up to a bus, and everything is cush
Then you become a lush, you start to whine and fuss
Fuck every girl you meet that has a crush
Your head starts getting big, you become a greedy pig
Star-studded diva talking like a little kid
Saying, “give me this, give me that.” Acting like a fucking brat
Like you don’t know me, what the fuck you think you’re looking at?
I feel embarrassed as I’m sitting, writing, looking back
Drinking Jack, Heineken’s in both hands, crooked hats
Smoke hanging out of my mouth, talking shit
Obnoxious and cocky like nothing could stop me
Took a while for me to finally figure this out
I actually thought that I was a bit better than everyone else
To all the people on the road that I treated like shit
I’d like to apologize to them for being a dick

Time’s change, I know that I’m strange
?What's wrong with my brain?
I'm just trying to keep it together
Asshole, I was such an asshole
That was in the past though
I'm just trying to keep it together

I tried staying grounded and some people found that I was down to Earth
It sounds worse than it was
But I'm the first to admit that I'm the worst when I'm buzzed
And it's unfortunate 'cause I was drunk for every show
Was it fun? I'll never know. I don't remember too much
But I know I love what I do so I'ma never give up
Anyways we all know life has it's peaks and valleys
Trying to reach my second peak that's why I'm going back to Cali
'Cause I've lost some momentum, life's different to me
The way I see things have changed quite significantly
I'm trying to get right within, I'm finally listening to me
I'll hopefully become the person that I wish I could be

Time’s change, I know that I’m strange
?What's wrong with my brain?
I'm just trying to keep it together
Asshole, I was such an asshole
That was in the past though
I'm just trying to keep it together

So what I'm saying is I've changed, couldn't stand being the same
But it still seems I rub you the wrong way and you complain
People come up in the club asking me questions
If I don't have the right answers that's their lasting impression
You don't understand man, that's a lot of pressure
They walk away hating if I don't make them feel special
Look, you can't get to know anybody in five minutes in the club
Please don't tell me that I didn't show you love
I'm just having a drink, we can talk, it's no hassle
But if I don't look exited, then guess who's the asshole
Then you tell all your friends that Madchild's conceited
We ain't supporting him no more, I guess that he don't need it
I'm not evil, people I treat everyone as equal
I might have had a bad day and I'm just trying to make a sequel
You can have your opinion, it's cool, I'm not suffering
With my fans and my friends and without them I'm nothing

Time’s change, I know that I’m strange
?What's wrong with my brain?
I'm just trying to keep it together
Asshole, I was such an asshole
That was in the past though
I'm just trying to keep it together

Time’s change, I know that I’m strange
?What's wrong with my brain?
I'm just trying to keep it together
Asshole, I was such an asshole
That was in the past though
I'm just trying to keep it together
