And I don't need nobody, telling me what to do
And I don't need nobody, putting their baggage on me
Cause I'm a free man in a free world, yeah
And I'm telling you that I'll stand my ground
Cause its the mind's reputation to be ruled by the world
And its the mind's reputation to believe what it's told
And I lost my faith in the law a long time ago
Cause the rich man keeps earning by stealing from the poor
There'll be a ripple in the weather
And time will stand still for a second or two
There'll be a ripple in the weather
There'll be a ripple in the weather
And I'll be waiting for that Southerly Change
Cause all I hear is the bad news driven from my radio
Cause the stories that are told, drive fear to control
Cause its the mind reputation to be ruled by the world
And its the mind's reputation to believe what it's told
And I lost my faith in the law a long time ago
Cause the rich man keeps earning by stealing from the poor
There'll be a ripple in the weather
And time will stand still for a second or two
There'll be a ripple in the weather
There'll be a ripple in the weather
And I'll be waiting for that Southerly Change
To set us free
To set us free
I'll be waiting
For the cold wind to come
There'll be a ripple in the weather
And time will stand still for a second or two
There'll be a ripple in the weather
There'll be a ripple in the weather
And I'll be waiting for that Southerly Change
