A/N Hello people of earth or any aliens who may be on this site! I'm really, really, really, REALLY late on updating Scary Stories (I blame writer's block and my sudden inability to correctly characterize Naoto.) So, as an apology, I decided to write a parody song based on the song Changes from Shrek 2. I think it really fits the theme of P4 in that there is a lot in P4 about facing yourself and changing for the better (I mean during the Social Links, the game is about finding truth within a world of lies and deceit and blah, blah, blah.) So I hope this makes up for how long you guys have been waiting for Scary Stories. I got the idea to write this from reading Make A Man Out Of Yu by KeyToUnivers (Seriously though, check it out.) This is a lot longer that the original song because I made a separate verse for each team member. Enjoy and please Review! Thanks a bunch, Arigatou Gozaimasu!

[Me]: Sorry, but no...
Changes
(Featuring: the Investigation Team)
[Naoto Shirogane]
Still don't know what I was running from
And my head was spinning round
With every step I'd take
Every time I thought I'd solved the case
It seemed I found a new mistake
So I looked at my reflection
And I swore and cursed myself
But now I know I don't have to fake it
And I'm no longer someone else
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I have my family and I have my friends
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I never have to change myself again
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[Yu Narukami]
I watch as my friends grow and change
But still they stay the same
As they day we first met
As the days go flying by
The next will still be the same
And these people I relied on
As we reached out to the truth
We have grown to be even closer
With all the trials we've made it through
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
Don't tell me that we can't find the truth within
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I finally think I've found a place where I fit in
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[Yosuke Hanamura]
Never thought that I would fit in here
I was tossed out in the sticks
Without a second thought
Everybody here knows my name
Some bad luck it seems I've got
But with all my friends beside me
I realized I'm not alone
All these people became my family
And this small town became my home
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I don't have anything left to fear
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I have I reason now for being here
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[Teddie]
I thought I had no place in life
No meaning, no true self
Nothing for me to find
But when Sensei came around
I started to see the light
So what if I'm just a shadow
And there's no real me to find
With Sensei and all the others
I know I won't just be left behind
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
Don't think I'm just an empty bear anymore
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I live here and I have something to fight for
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[Kanji Tatsumi]
Thought no one would ever understand
All the shit that I've been through
Why can't I just be me?
Spent so much time pushin' them away
I never tried to make them see
But I'm done with all the runnin'
And I'm done livin' a lie
Know the guys've all got my back now
They'll accept me, just gotta try
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I'm gonna just do what I wanna do
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
Watch out, a brand new me is coming through
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[Rise Kujikawa]
I wanted to get rid of a fake
Throw away "Risette"
Show the world the real me
But in time I'd realized
I'd made a super huge mistake
And I felt things I'm ashamed of
But I figured something out
That these made up things I ran from
Are all part of me without a doubt
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
None of that stuff matters anyway
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I just wake up to fight again another day
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[Chie Satonaka]
We met back when we were little kids
And became instant friends
Things were going great
Then I saw I had a jealous side
A side of me that I just hate
But that doesn't matter to me
She'll always be my friend
We will always support each other
This is where the secrets end
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I face my dark side and I'll fix myself
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I know I'll make it through with my friends' help
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[Yukiko Amagi]
I never realized what I had
I was so selfish then
Thought only of myself
Even used my dearest friend
As just a means of escape
But I see now it was stupid
I always could be free
But I'll stay here where I am needed
How could I leave those who love me?
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
I always was a bird, just trapped in place
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
Now I will face this future with a smiling face
Time may change me
But I can't change time
[All]
Strange how my life turned, it's changing me
Oh, we are all changing from what we have been through
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
Gotta look out for one another
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face myself
(Ch-ch-changes)
We've faced out, and held out for each other
Time may change me
But I can't change time
I said that time may change me
But I can't change time
