Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Something's goin' on, a change is taking place
Children smilin' in the street have gone without a trace
This street used to be full, it used to make me smile
And now it seems that everyone is walkin' single file
[Verse 2]
And many bow their heads in shame
That used to hold them high
And those that used to say hello
Simply pass you by
[Verse 3]
Think for (Think for a minute)
Stop for (Stop for a minute)
Think for (Think for a minute)
Stop for (Stop for a minute)
[Verse 4]
I always said it could, they never thought it would
The people look so pitiful, I'm thinkin' that it should
And now it's almost here, now it's on its way
I can't help saying, "Told you so, and have a nice final day"
[Verse 5]
'Cause nothing I could say
Could ever make them see the light
Now apathy is happy that
It won without a fight
[Verse 6]
Think for (Think for a minute)
Stop for (Stop for a minute)
Think for (Think for a minute)
Stop for (Stop for a minute)
[Verse 7]
Ah, yeah
[Verse 8]
And many bow their heads in shame (Think for a minute)
That used to hold them high (Stop for a minute)
And those that used to say hello (Think for a minute)
Simply pass you by (Stop for a minute)
[Verse 9]
Think for a minute
Stop for a minute
Think for a minute
Stop for a minute
[Verse 10]
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
