The Other Place
Change has got to come and I'll be the first to admit it
When pushin' comes to shovin' I'll be the first one to get it

Don't you understand anything?
You won't like it at all when the fire that burns in the predator's eyes
Take[s] another disguise with a different face
And it all gets down to the people in our town [they] don't wanna be found
in the other place

Who am I to argue the words of our prominent leaders?
A little boy stepping in front of his mom when his dad starts to beat her

Don't you understand anything?
You won't like it at all when the fire that burns in the predator's eyes
Take[s] another disguise with a different face
And it all gets down to the people in our town [they] don't wanna be found
in the other place

Changing is an awful task with rules laid out for you
But things are different now and a new world is dying to push through

[Change has got to come and I'll be the first to admit it
When pushin' comes to shovin' I'll be the first one to get it]

[Don't you understand anything?
You won't like it at all when the fire that burns in the predator's eyes
Take[s] another disguise with a different face
And it all gets down to the people in our town [they] don't wanna be found
in the other place
And it all gets down to the people in our town [they] don't wanna be found
in the other place]
