Sometimes a change is an upgrade For a better existence we crave And thus we now live in a warm house And don’t shiver inside a damp cave Or maybe we tire of fashion And yearn for a day very soon When we cast off the custom of corsets For breeches and pantaloons The new normal might come some gusto That’s embraced with an unbridled glee Ditch gramophone records and big bands As we rush to get colour TVs Other times change is unwelcome Its just something we have to embrace Politics, illness, bad neighbours Or wearing a mask on our face Our life will have only one constant Which I shall now pass on to you The only thing certain and for certain Is the change that we have to live through It might not be something we long for But before long it will stop being new To have a new normal is normal Because its normal to have something new

It’s Not New for the Normal to be New
Sometimes a change is an upgrade For a better existence we crave And thus we now live in a warm house And don’t shiver inside a damp cave Or maybe we tire of fashion And yearn for a day very soon When we cast off the custom of corsets For breeches and pantaloons The new normal might come some gusto That’s embraced with an unbridled glee Ditch gramophone records and big bands As we rush to get colour TVs Other times change is unwelcome Its just something we have to embrace Politics, illness, bad neighbours Or wearing a mask on our face Our life will have only one constant Which I shall now pass on to you The only thing certain and for certain Is the change that we have to live through It might not be something we long for But before long it will stop being new To have a new normal is normal Because its normal to have something new
