The Other Place

(album: Forever Since Breakfast - 1986)

Change has got to come
And I'll be the first to admit it
When pushing comes to shoving
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
Takes 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
Takes 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 pushing comes to shoving
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
Takes 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
