Changing the Guard

Come on wave y'all, down by the riverside Say toodle-loo to the passing of a king If you can cling to the magic of the moment You'll carry on the message, just like him Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be scared of You're not alone, even when you're by yourself There ain't too much that really makes a ha'p'ths worth o' difference There ain't nothing new, that ain't been done before Is this the end of the old guard? I wouldn't count on it Is this end of the old platoon? When all the nations speak, unto the nations Not by the party boys who claim the title king We'll stop to see the changes that are written By the dawning of a new world here within Is this the end of the old guard? I wouldn't count on it Is this the end of the old platoon? Don't count on it I've seen the changes And I've heard the liberties So don't you tell me there's no more I can do I built a castle from the dreams of idle wasters And I'm on the ramparts looking down at you Is this the end of the old guard? I wouldn't count on it Is this the end of the old platoon?
