about

Inspired by the deeply saddening shootings that happened on the Danforth in Toronto earlier this summer and combined with a sobering tone, Slamboni groups tragedy with symptoms of global warming and other universal problems that we face. ‘Times Have Changed’ brings to mind a sense of solidarity and community, and reminds us, that we are all in this together.

lyrics

TIMES HAVE CHANGED (Copyright Scott Hazelton)

Smoldering sun
Low on the horizon
When the tar in the cracks on the street is relaxed
And stickin’ like chewing gum
Smoldering sun
Smoldering sun
Baking the street
And shimmering on and on

Times have changed
Times have changed
When we’re not really sure if the future’s assured
And the circumstances have all changed

Like me, the air is hazy
So don’t do anything crazy
Watch it burn away the thick grain of the day
Till the heat lighting illuminates
Like thoughts of God
Or creation
Or silent bombs
And burning palms
In the nighttime sky and a weather eye’s nothing but 20/20 vision these days
Just a shade of the ways the world’s in flames
And we know that times have changed

Gotta have eyes on the back of your head
With the vans, with the guns, with the explosives
And we’re never gonna sleep the same that we did again, again, again, again!
And I plead to anyone that can’t escape the pain
If you’re on the edge of breaking and doing something
Don’t hurt anyone, including yourself
You’re not alone, not alone
Not alone!

Times have changed
Times have changed
When we’re not really sure if the mind is impure
Or the circumstances have all changed

Smoldering sun
Melting the horizon
Even ice cream shops aren’t safe from the face of a maniac shooting up the place
So we pray…
…for the lost souls of the slain
And we stay on high alert now constantly

Gotta have eyes on the back of your head
Too many lunatics around packing guns and shit
And we’re never gonna sleep the same that we did again, again, again, again!
And I plead to anyone that can’t escape the pain
If you’re on the edge of breaking and doing something
Don’t hurt anyone, including yourself
You’re not alone, not alone
Not alone!

Times have changed
Times have changed
When we’re not really sure if the mind is impure
Or the circumstances have all changed
