The rain is pouring down
   I feel like a dog that's been kicked out into the street
   I know that dogs can't drive cars
   But that's about the only difference between us now
   But wait, there's a rainbow across the freeway
   And I think I feel the morning sun
   Another song is number one
   Golden days have just begun
  
   Change, every dog is gonna have his day
   Change, every loser's gonna have his way
   Change, I don't care what other people say
  
   You can argue all day long about whether love really exists or not
   It's a complete waste of time
   Like arguing whether Santa Claus really exists or not
   I got better things to do with my time
   I got places that I've got to be
   And people that I have to see
   Mountains that I have to ski
   Golden days ahead of me
  
   Change, every dog is gonna have his day
   Change, every loser's gonna have his way
   Change, I don't care what other people say
   Change, just ignore them and they'll go away
  
   Paradise was here, paradise is gone
   Greece and Rome were here, Greece and Rome are gone
   The Wild West was here, the Wild West is gone
  
   Change, every dog is gonna have his day
   Change, every loser's gonna have his way
   Change, I don't care what other people say
  
   You know, I've been thinking we'll get back together again someday
   Your hair will be some weird color by then
   Maybe we'll just start off again as friends
   I wonder when?
  
   Change, every dog is gonna have his day
   Change, every loser's gonna have his way
   Change, I don't care what other people say
