A Change at Christmas (Say It Isn’t So) - The Flaming Lips

I know everything changes

Yeah, it’s strange how time marches on

Maybe there’ll be some time in the future

Oh, tell me I’m not wrong

Oh, if I could stop time

It would be a frozen moment just around Christmas

When all of mankind reveals its truest potential

And there is sympathy for the suffering

Yes, there is sympathy for those who are suffering

And the world embraces peace and love and mercy

Instead of power and fear

And as sure as I’m standing here

I swear it really does appear that a change comes over us

Yes, some kind of change comes over us

And it’s glimpsed for one shining moment

And this change feels like a change that’s real

But then it passes along with the season

And then we just go back to the way we were

Yes, we just go back to the way we were

Say it isn’t so

Tell me I’m not just a dreamer

I’m talking with a friend and he knows how it ends

He says it’s easier, that’s just the way we are

That’s human nature and that’s just the way we are

Oh, say it isn’t so!
