Cover art for Change lyrics by Oingo Boingo

It's about the tension between stasis and change. I'm not sure either side exactly wins the argument. I love this song; it's one of my favorite Boingo tracks and probably one of my favorite songs of all time.

I think it's no accident that this was late in their discography, shortly before they quit; I think it reflects on the bittersweetness of moving on to other things.

There's also a definite psychedelic influence. There are at least two clips of this song performed in concert where Danny says "Okay, you all dropped [acid] already, right? Coming on now? Good..." before playing it.
