I'm just a simple working man 
Gettin' by the best I can 
In this crazy mixed-up muddled-up world that I live in
I'm a middle class sort of a guy 
I'm not rich but I get by 
Pretending that I know just what I'm doin'
I'm a well bred upper class sort of chap
I don't care much about this and that 
Even when I know there's trouble brewin'
We think there's a change in the weather 
We've got to learn to stick together
We've seen the thunder clouds in the sky
I want to live, I don't want to die
I think the weather's changing, I hope the weather is gonna change
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day
I think there's a change in the weather, I hope good weather is here to stay,
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day
See the holocaust risin' over the horizon
Gonna see a manifestation, total chaos, devastation
Anticyclone and tornados brewin'
Gonna feel the lightnin' strikin'
Thunder clap smoke a frightnin'
There's gonna be evil doin'
There's trouble brewin'
Everybody scared
Too much thunder, too much fightin'
Heavy storm clouds comin'
Gonna cover up the sun 
And gonna terrify everyone
Better pack up your bags and run
I think there's a change in the weather, I think the weather is going to change 
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day
I think there's a change in the weather, I hope good weather is here to stay
I hope it's a change for the better and it will brighten up my day
