Lyrics:
Change    (from Beatles’s Chains) Wo, oh, this change of life is challenging.
 
But what about the work we’ve done, to make the world anew.
But never think there is no one.......to replace you!
 
Change, there is no reason not to change. We must mutate to play the game.
Wo, oh, it’s time to rearrange our DNA!
 
But what about our life long dreams, we think we gotta get done.
But here’s an even better scheme, it’s called.....TRANSITION!
 
Change, can’t afford to be the same anymore. We’re not 18, or even 54.
Wo, oh, this next big change of life, is worth much more!
Wo, oh, this next big change of life, is worth much more!

We Feel Fine   (from the Beatles’s “I Feel Fine)
 
In 1969, you know, our hair was short and fine , you know, we thought so.
We had no friggin’ clue and we felt fine.
 
In 1970, you know, we learned to disagree, you know, and said so.
Peace, love, rock, and roll and we felt fine.
 
We were Rad when we went to this school
We weren’t sad from changin’ all the rules.
 ‘Cuz we learned to do it our own way, that there might be a better day, we thought so.
Peace, Love, Rock and Roll and we felt fine.
 
Then came 1971, and tried to deal with ol’ Nixon, the asshole.
He got it in the end and we felt fine.
 
Now it’s 2008, I think we need to demonstrate, again so
Peace, Love, Rock and Roll will make us fine.
 
I’m so glad that we went to this school.
We’re so glad, we’re telling all the world.
 ‘Cuz our babies now go to this school which costs an arm and leg and so , we pay so.
Peace, Love, Rock and Roll and we feel fine
Peace, Love, Rock and Roll and we feel fine.

Transition  (from Beatles’s Revolution)
 
You say you want a new transition, well you know....it’s too late to change the world.
You say you got a skin condition, well you know.....shoulda used your Coppertone.
But when you talk about destruction, did you think about cholesterol?
 
Don’t ya know you gotta take.....Lipitor
Don’t ya know you gotta be.....less mature.
Don’t ya know you gotta eat....less meat....
 
 
You say you’ve changed your constitution, well you know....you need a colonoscopy.
You tell me that it’s evolution, well you know.... prostate’s so big you cannot pee.
 
Boy, you gotta carry that weight, carry that weight a long time.
Boy, you gotta carry that weight, carry that weight a long time.
 
Don’t ya know you’re gonna be.......... near 60.
Don’t ya know you have to be...................fat free.
Don’t ya know you wanna be....................23.
 
You say you got a real solution, well you know....it’s called a time machine.
Now you ask me for a contribution, well you know......my IRA’s not what it seems.
But if you want money from people with minds like ours, don’t forget  we’ve got  Alzheimers.
 
Don’t ya know you’re gonna be..........alright.
Don’t ya know you have to be.....less uptight.
Don’t ya know you wanna be.....high as a kite....alright....alright.....alright.....alright!!!!!
