The culture was once rebellion
Speaking truth to the nations
They still sing the same old tune
Now echoed by corporations
Enemy was defeated decades ago
And you pretend it's still the past
Don't act like you're part of the resistance
It's the corrupted ruling class
You'll defend crooks and murderers
You're blind yet it's plain to see
While you fight for predetermined causes
They're waging war with glee
Times have changed, times have changed
There's nothing punk about your conformity
Times have changed, times have changed
It's time to face the reality
Face the reality!
I see a generation of cowards
Your thoughts controlled by the news
Afraid of an original thought
And smugly licking their boots
Never daring to question
Just doing what they say
Corruption and lies plain to see
Growing worse day by day
Times have changed, times have changed
There's nothing punk about your conformity
Times have changed, times have changed
It's time to face the reality
Face the reality!
