Change the Road (Album Version)

[Intro:] There's still time - there's still time to change the road There's still time to change the road [Hook x2: Led Zeppelin] Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on (There's still time to change the road) [Verse 1:] Here's a little story about a boy named Richie Richie came from a rich home - quite nifty Richie was rich but his soul was quite empty His parents bought him everything, he was spoiled plenty, but Still something was wrong inside the mind of his He was spaced out, attracted to fine violence He would listen to Beethoven and play the violin And sometimes sat in his room in greater silence Closed his eyelids and pictured the desires Of burning fires and hurting the kids in his choir There were no signs of friends, he was tired Of being sick and tired of being hit by Micheal So one day he buys a gun, two for the price of one Goes to school to have a little bit of fun In the middle of the cafeteria where all the kids are He looks around to think, should he do something this bizarre? [Hook x2: Led Zeppelin] Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on (There's still time to change the road) [Verse 2:] Here's another story about a boy named Cory Cory was the opposite of Richie, he was poor, see He was poor, they couldn't afford heat But they would have food on the table every morning Step in his shoes to feel his little sore feet He slept on the floor, tucked under his little torn sheets Mommy worked and daddy was sipping forties Mommy was too busy to spend a minute with Cory See, mommy had two jobs just to barely support him And daddy was too drunk, so he always ignored him He's sick of it, he wishes he lived in a mansion He wishes he was rich and was fitted in fashion He went to school and rich kids would always harass him They picked on him and spit on him, you couldn't imagine But this time Cory brought a Gat and mad as a madman In the cafeteria thinking should he just blast them? [Hook x2: Led Zeppelin] Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on (There's still time to change the road) [Verse 3:] Richie's in the cafeteria chewing on his bubble gum He's having racing thoughts, everyone's in trouble son Looking at the clock, time is ticking he can hear the tock Waiting for the perfect time to strike, he's getting very hot Cory's in the cafeteria thinking when to pop his Glock And he just heard somebody's gum just pop He turns around and sees a nervous little rich boy Looking paranoid, sweating bullets all annoyed Now they both get up - it's game time They both reach for their guns at the same time Richie looks at Cory, Cory looks at Richie Cory yells to Richie, "Are you insane? I would kill to be rich!" "That's what you think My life isn't as it seems, I don't feel pain!" [Hook x4: Led Zeppelin] Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on (There's still time to change the road) There's still time to change the road (5x)
