Change of the Guard by Steely Dan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you listen, you can hear it
It's the laughter in the street
It's the motion in the music
And the fire beneath your feet
[Chorus]
All the signs are right this time
You don't have to try so very hard
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
[Verse 2]
All you cowboys and your neighbors
Can you swallow up your pride?
Take your guns off, if you're willin'
And you know we're on your side
[Chorus]
If you wanna get thru' the years
It's high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
[Instrumental break 2:00-2:37]
[Chorus]
If you wanna get thru' the years
It's high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
[Outro]
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
If you listen, you can hear it
It's the laughter in the street
It's the motion in the music
And the fire beneath your feet
[Chorus]
All the signs are right this time
You don't have to try so very hard
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
[Verse 2]
All you cowboys and your neighbors
Can you swallow up your pride?
Take your guns off, if you're willin'
And you know we're on your side
[Chorus]
If you wanna get thru' the years
It's high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
[Instrumental break 2:00-2:37]
[Chorus]
If you wanna get thru' the years
It's high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
[Outro]
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
