Madchild - Times Change lyrics

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
