Do what you want
Just as long as you don't get caught
You'll always know
But that's not how you were taught
See I don't know if you should come back to your home
It's not what she would have wanted
You're never gonna stop
Letting people down unless you change
Yeah, it's easier just to stay the same.
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
All that we gave never seemed to be enough
To fill in the space that grows as time gets tough
Letting its go wouldn't be the end of it all
It's harder to start over.
You're never gonna stop
Letting people down unless you change
Yeah, it's easier just to stay the same.
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
Breaking out, say hello to all the friends that you forgot about
Same old routine, if you don't wanna break it, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
It's funny how I missed a life
Funny how I missed a life
Happy cause I don't know why
So I say to myself
And I feel the change
Begging my rage
And I know it's a part of our nature
So hear my lecture
Come over, come inside
And let me see the things you hide
Come over, can't you see?
It's a part of reality
So I say to myself
And I feel the change
Begging my rage
And I know it's a part of our nature
So hear my lecture
Feelings are a part of the universe
So why do we change the course?
As white as clouds
As right as rain
A feeling that's right
A feeling of pain
Global is the issue
When they want you to pinpoint
This mortal way of life
Illusions of my knife
Global is the issue (is the issue)
Do you want me to pinpoint?
My mortal way of life
Illusions of the knife
Feeling kinda sick
Sick of all the things they do
Swaying with the wind
Tell me who is fooling who
I'm not changing for this changing world
And I'll live my life my own way
On and on they drag me on
I won't change for you
Shifting with the sands
See them sinking once again
Fairweathered till the end
They follow thier forgotten trends
all my life been holding on to nothing
all my hopes were castles in the sand
i've read words with no comprehension
i've had dreams i don't understand
here i am falling down
all i want is a comforting hand
giving the same as anybody out there
living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer
keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you
kicking the ground with every step that i take
letting you down with every promise i break
don't let go i'm making that change for you
time goes on to help you find the answers
why you're alive and where you go
life goes on but you don't stop to wonder
what there is that you still don't know
here i am growing old
i've got to hold that comforting hand
giving the same as anybody out there
living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer
keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you
kicking the ground with every step that i take
letting you down with every promise i break
don't let go i'm making that change for you
There's people freezing
Out on the streets
Nowhere to turn
Nowhere to sleep - change
Change
Change
Change
Change
You say they're worthless
Just let em die
Let's see you out there
Let's watch you die
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
She starts the day
Paints on another happy face
Gets all dressed up
To meet her friends at the usual place
All the while she's longing (Ahhh)
Just wants to belong (Ahhh)
Chorus:
If you change the color of your world
And you change the fears you hold inside
Will you find what you are looking for
Change for you, not for me
Found everything she wants
That money can buy
But she is lost
Somewhere in between the lines
Ohh inside she's crying (Ahhh)
Her whole world is dying (Ahhh)
Repeat Chorus
Change not for herself
For someone else
The way she walks
The way she talks
The way she smiles
What she believes
The way she breathes
Repeat Chorus
Change for you
Don't change for me
Change for you
Don't change for me
If I could hold you close
Like you were never gone
If I could hear your voice
You'd tell me to be strong
But sometimes
I just can't
I just don't understand
Why you had to go
Why you had to go
I guess I'll never know
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
The same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change
If I could get to you
I'd be there in a minute
My world don't make no sense
Not without you in it
And sometimes
I just find
Can't say I
Don't know why
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
And leave me here alone
And leave me here alone
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
The same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change
You don't see it coming
Change
When the future comes knocking
It changed
It can make you or break you too
You'd just have to make it through
(You'd just have to make it through)
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
The same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change
Change, change
Change, change
You walked in to the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph
When it's all too late
It's all too late
I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve
When it's all too late
It's all too late
Change
You can change
And something on your mind
Became a point of view
You lost your honesty
I lost the life in you
When it's all too late
It's all too late
We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you
When it's all too late
It's all too late
What has happened to
The friend that I once knew
Has he gone away
(L. Stansfield/I. Devaney/A. Morris)
Chorus:
If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn't change a single thing
'Cos if I changed my world into another place
I wouldn't see your smiling face
Honey don't you worry, there's nothin' to worry for
'Cos if I didn't love you I wouldn't be here now
And if I didn't want you I would have turned around by now
You've got to believe me babe, believe that I love you so
'Cos if I didn't love you I would have turned around
And if I didn't want you, then I would want you out
This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love
Chorus
Believing is the answer, the answer to all your fears
When I first said I loved you, I went in for the kill
Now when I say I love you, I mean I always will
This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love
Chorus
This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love
Chorus
Change, Change, Change,
Change, Change, Change,
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Everyday I saw you there chillen on the corner
Puffin on crack and marijauna
Because I know how your life is
Nobody just be guidin, no
Hope to see black people living longer
Also less kids without fathers
We should all come together
Please stop fighting and killing eachother
Its what happens when your living in the street life
Its so dark and you dont get sunlight
People seeing why you dont get treated right
But ima try to change it
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Many people living off welfare
Hoping things get better next year
But I'm covered in tears
So many sick without health care
Too many innocent people dyin'
And I dont know why
You gotta keep your eyes open even when your rollin'
As days go by
Its what happens when your living in the street life
Its so dark and you dont get sunlight
People seeing why you dont get treated right
But ima try to change it
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Somebody change the world
We've got little boys and little girls
Growing up on this sinful earth
Oh whats happening?
I dont know, but please tell me
We've got all these criminals and discretes
Killin people for no reason
I dont know why
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change, change, change)
I won't change, I don't want to be like you
Why would I want to be like you?
The cutouts shout their insults as I'm walking down the hall,
Turn around and tell them to 'go back to the shopping mall'
I won't change I won't change,
I want to be strange
Why would I want to be like you?
Your comments and oppinions don't mean anything to me
I like the way I do things, so don't try to change me
Oh My love
You say nothing's wrong
You say you love me
What we've got is so strong
But I know someone else is loving you
Baby, if yOu don't really love me
Just say we're through
CHORUS: You know I had to realize
your love was just a game
Oh, change
Now I've gonna to take the time to stop
and rearrange
Change
I've got to walk away from you
Before I lose my mind
I need a change
'Cause all I'm going to do with you is
just keep wasting time
Did you lie when you said
Your love was mine
Or was I being foolish
'Cause my heart was blind
Sometimes I feel like
Just holding you would make things ok
But now I see
The price of loving you
I'll have to pay
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Somebody said
You don't love me no more baby
I don't know
Why you're hurt me the way
you're hurt me
Right now I know the truth about
you are your new lover
I'm running for cover
So you can say what you wa to say
Say what you're gonna do
I can't stand the way you treat me
I'm giving up on you.
CHORUS
REPEAT BRIDGE
CHORUS
An old farmhouse stands alone, garage tacked to its side.
Old man inside keeps telling me he wants to die.
Says, €œI don€™t got much these days...just some photos and a clock, reminding me how fast the time is passing by.€?
Well I don€™t even know your name.
Don€™t even know your name, but I wanted to tell you things change.
A young girl cries in my ear, her heart tries not to break.
She holds her own, but indecision makes her shake.
She€™s got so much left to give, all her thoughts and all her dreams, reminding me how fast the time is passing by.
Well I don€™t even know your name.
Don€™t even know your name, but I wanted to tell you things change.
Things change.
An old farmhouse stands alone, garage tacked to its side.
Old man inside keeps telling me....
Well I don€™t even know your name.
Don€™t even know your name, but I wanted to tell you things change.
Things change.
Things I saw things I see
Things that you wanted me to be
But I cannot change
Same routine over again
You call me up just to be my friend
Things are still the same
Been so long since we started
Even longer we've been parted
Doesn't look like we're gonna make it
Cause this time I'm not gonna take it
Not gonna take it anymore
What you want is what you get
You smile sweet when you're really getting wet
Know you all too well
Same routine; back again
You say our story never had an end
There's nothing to tell
Been so long since we started
Even longer we've been parted
Doesn't look like we're gonna make it
Cause this time I'm not gonna take it
Not gonna take it anymore
strange
mixed
up
world
where the
girl
uses
the
boy
til
she
gets
horny
for
other
guy
Its hello then good bye
Same routine; back again
You say our story never had an end
There's nothing to tell
Been so long since we started
Even longer we've been parted
Doesn't look like we're gonna make it
Cause this time I'm not gonna take it
Been so long since we started
Even longer we've been parted
Doesn't look like we're gonna make it
Cause this time I'm not gonna take it
Not gonna take it anymore
You came close this time
Close to findin' a way
A way to change my mind
But I feel sure
I've heard it before
So you push yourself
Always in my face
Chance to realise
That I've made mistakes
But I've made my break
Won't get left behind
I'm not afraid
Listen my friend
You'll be fine, if you don't
Waste my time, don't you know
You could share
All the visions that I have
And you know, I could change
But I won't, anyway
That is why, you should find
Someone else and waste their time
You'll be fine, if you don't
Waste my time, don't you know
You could share
All the visions that I have
And you know, I could change
But I won't, anyway
That is why, you should find
Someone else and waste their time
You could change don't you know
You could change don't you know
You could change
But I don't like you anyway!
Yeaaaa..uhhh
I like the way that sounds
uh uh N-N-N-N-N-N-Nooowww
Check Check
[Verse 1]
Nigga you feelin like a frog when you jump
One leap will bring ya from the bar to the trunk
From the trunk to the dump
Ima rain on em, put the chump on a slump
Like a rib shot, thats what the customers want
Dont ya?, This aint ya typical story
Thefore i dont fall in the category
Im cool, calm and collective, Yukon or the Lexis
Blue chronic for breakfast, to match with the necklace
Dimes all way down till the rats wanna check this
Reckless, born treacherous, sworn specialist
Especially, if ya rest next to me
Nigga come testin me youll get the gun recipe
These old niggas want the new born sound
Actin like they dont know who hold New York down
Yea i use to buy knicks, ten years later
Now im super fly slick without a roof on my whip, shit
I slip 100 proof till im ripped
And wave at the haters, got em root canal sick
Tell me you niggas like to make a scene so the lamas close
That kind of shit dont fly like Mama jokes
We got em long, short, all kind of toast
Boy i done left shit trails all around the coast
To places you gettin 'round by boat
I get a pound, i smoke, i put it down, im dope
Im on scope when i pass the block, i make traffic stop
A product of everything that made the apple rott
This apple jacks, way long before the platnium plaques
The pro-tools and the wax
Take a step back before ya catch a contact
The flow's like a M-16 wit the arm strapped
Ima bomb on these niggas till they cant bomb back
The hiroshima demeanor, microphone crack
[Chorus]
Alot of shit has changed since i came
Yall done came around here fuckin up the game
Therefore i aint servin nuttin but the pain
You playin, im hungier than a mothafucka man
Rob a store before you walk around poor
Cause you aint gettin from me you grown boy
You fuelin up my fire when you hate
So Ima lean on you till you make a mistake
I cant wait
[Verse 2]
And to the curtains close
its just me, the tooly, and them purple O's,
Endo overload, drive like i own the roads
these niggas is puss, thats why my shoulders cold
Mac by the toilet bowl
Im ridin filthy in the Beamer
Cause i can have lima and a colina bring it to a misdemeanor
You drown in deep water
Every nigga around come from the street corner
Where you need your heat on ya
Im on recline while my next CD climb
South Side greedy dine, red wine, DB 9
NYPD grind, why?, it aint a easy grind
A nigga try to get mine ima feed him nine
And its graffiti time, niggas sprayin your mural
For tryin to be a muthafuckin hero
Im fresh, fly and flashy, best guy if you ask me
Jet by on em nasty, nigga you in a taxi
I cant wait
[Chorus]
Alot of shit has changed since i came
Yall done came around here fuckin up the game
Therefore i aint servin nuttin but the pain
You playin, im hungier than a mothafucka man
Rob a store before you walk around poor
Cause you aint gettin from me you grown boy
You fuelin up my fire when you hate
So Ima lean on you till you make a mistake
I cant wait
Ha Ha haaaaaaaaaaaa
Yeaaa, ugh, GGGGG-Unit
Boyyyyyyyyyyyy
Someday when I'm over you and when I think I'm able to
Well I might try to be your friend again
Your restless heart and rovin' eyes my jealousy these endless fights
I've got to get out of your life or I will never mend
I guess I'll die a bit each day but I'm always dying anyway
And I don't have the heart to stay and I can't take the pain
I know we've tried to no avail our heaven now has turned to hell
The same old hurt we know so well and something's got to change
We both know it's got to end the passion's gone it's just pretend
And one of us has got to make the move
We might as well just give it up we've lost respect and there's no trust
And without this there's no real love it's just some sad excuse
I guess I'll die a bit each day but I'm always dying anyway
And there's nothing left but walk away ain't this a crying shame
A change of pace a change of heart a change of place a place to start
And we'll be better off apart our only chance is change
And we never will but something has to change
Someday when I'm over you and when I think I'm able to
When I will try to be your friend again
But I don't want to see your face till then
You woke me up at 3:00 a.m.
To tell me about the fire
You said that she was more than a friend
You were consumed by your desire
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
Your love was here but now it's gone
And your eyes no longer want me
And now I can't hold back the dawn
And the truth that seems to haunt me
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
The only thing
That stays the same
Is change
I'm not so sure where I have been
I don't know just where I'm going
Hard as I hold it in my hand
I can stop the wind from blowing
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
Roll me away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Change change change see it all the time
Look look look
I could write a book about my life
Baby blue I love you
Look look look
I could write a book about my life
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Baby blue I love you
Blue blue blue
I could write a book about your life
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Wake up my friends
Don't you see what is happening
To all of the
People that are suffering?
Well do you see it now?
And if we don't change
We're all going down
If we don't do anything
God help us now
People turn their backs
To those in need
For no reason but
Oh their selfish greed
Well do you see it now?
If you think the world's alright
Take a look inside yourself
See what you might find
Try to see the future
Through your children's eyes
This can't go on, anymore
Cause I am geting tired of asking
why
The way we feel what you desire
Are we purified in fire?
Can we make a difference now?
Can we change?
Nothing will make any sense
Without a sense of consequence
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
No dreams will come true
If dreaming's all we do
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
This can't go on, anymore
As I leave I'll shut the door
In the face of my adversary
It can be so scary
When truthreveals the lies the world
Conceals, we, must go on
Nothing will make any sense
Without a sense of consequence
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
No dreams will come true
If dreaming's all we do
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
Tell me that I'm nothing
Tell me this life's nothing
Tell me my dreams mean
Tell me that I'm nothing
But I know that I'm something
Your words mean
Nothing will make any sense
Without a sense of consequence
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
No dreams will come true
If dreaming's all we do
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
Our souls
The wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?
Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep into your bed at night?
Leave your head alone
Well, the wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know, no
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?
Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep into your bed at night?
Leave your head alone
People talking
And they're saying that you're leaving
So unhappy
With the way that you've been living
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Look in the mirror
And you see how you've been taken
You won't surrender
But now your heart is breakin'
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Do you remember
When you got your lucky break
You're looking back now
And it seems like a mistake
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It's only change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will stay the same
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (what¹s in your heart)
It's only
It's only
It's only change
Never (it doesn't matter)
You ain't gonna
You ain't gonna change (what's in your heart)
You ain't gonna change
I don't feel the sun's comin' out today
It's staying in, it's gonna find another way, yeah, hey
As I sit here in this misery
I don't think I'll ever no long' seen the sun from here
And, oh, as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say and they'll say
"Hey, look at him", I'll never live that way
And that's okay, they're just afraid to change
Ah, when you feel life ain't worth living
You've got to stand up and take a look around
You look up way to the sky
Hey and when your deepest thoughts are broken
Keep on dreaming boy, 'cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die
And as we all play parts of tomorrow, oh, no, no
Some ways we'll work, in other ways we'll play, yeah, yeah
But I know we can't all stay here forever, oh
So I want to write my words on the face of today
And then they'll paint it up
And, oh, as I fade away, yeah
They'll all look at me and say, they'll say
"Hey, look at him and where he is these days"
When life is hard, you have to change
I used to think life was just a waste, so many limitations but there's so much around to taste but change and motivation turned my life around all the time I though I lost has suddenly been found Chorus:Its time to change no one can do it for you It's time to change get up off your ass and see what's around you its time to change think of what your missing its time to change get off your couch and shut off your tv so many things to do and so much more to see no one lives forever so what are you waiting for nothing gets done whining and no one likes a bore

you'll never fuck me up, Bisc Limpkit. At least I got a phat, original band.
Fred: Who's hot, who's not?
Jon: You.
Fred: You best step back, Korn on the cob, you need a new job. Time to
take them mic skills back to the dentist, and buy yourself a new grill.
Jon: Fuck you.
Fred: You pumpkin pie, I'll jack-off in your eye. Climbing shoots and ladders,
while your ego shatters. But you just can't get away.
Jon: Get a gay?
Fred: 'Cuz it's doomsday kid, it's doomsday.
CHORUS
Fred: You call yourself a singer?
Jon: Yep.
Fred: You're more like Jerry Springer.
Jon: Oh cool!
Fred: Your favorite band is winger,
Jon: Winger?
Fred: and all you eat is Zingers. You're like a Fruity Pebble, your
favorite flag is rebel.
Jon: Yeeeeeehaaaaaa!!
Fred: It's just too bad that you're a faggot on a lower level.
Jon: So you're from Jacksonville, kickin' it like Buffalo Bill.
Gettin' butt-fucked by your uncle Chuck, while your sister's on her knees waitin' for your
little peanut.
Fred: Wait, where'd ya get that little dance?
Jon: Over here.
Fred: Like them idiots in Waco, you're burning up in Bako where your father
had your mother, your mother had your brother, it's just too bad your
father's mad, your mother's now your lover.
Jon: Come on hillbilly, can your horse do a fuckin' wheelie? You love it down
south in the fall, you sure do got a purdy mouth.
CHORUS
Jon: and I love you!
Fred: and I want you!
Jon: and I'll suck you!
Fred: and I'll fuck you!
Jon: and I'll butt-fuck you!
Fred: and I'll eat you!
Jon: and I'll lick your little dick, motherfucka'.
Fred: Say what? Say... what?
Been a long time lonely grown set in my ways
No eye for tomorrow just a chain of yesterdays
You were the first time I knew where I stood
Now I walk a new line and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine bring me back again it's just a matter of time
Gonna play my cards right gonna knock on wood
I know what it's coming and I think the change is gonna do me good
Stone cold sober in the broad daylight downtown dancin' on a Saturday night
Just thinkin' about you makes me feel alright
It's the way that you love me the way that you love me
[ guitar ]
Stone cold sober...
Your love is a shadow across all my dreams
I wake and want you and your face is all I see
No words have been spoken it's all understood
My heart is wide open and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine...
Gonna suit me fine it's just a matter of time
I tried so many times but nothing happened,
It seemed the task at hand was much too great for me.
I spent my yesterdays wondering if tomorrow would be the same.
I underestimated Your grace.
But you loved me in spite of my ways
And changed me.
Change
That's the word that comes to mind when I think of all you've done for me.
Oh, oh, change
It's kinda' strange how people say that I act so differently
Oh, oh change
Every passing day I find it easier to say...
"What a wonderful change in me."
Now I find myself staring in the mirror
Taking inventory of the things I see.
I never realized that there was so much missing deep inside
Until you took control of my life.
Like an eagle now I can fly
Cause you changed me.
Change
That's the word that comes to mind when I think of all you've done for me.
Oh, oh, change
It's kinda' strange how people say that I act so differently
Oh, oh change
Every passing day I find it easier to say...
"What a wonderful change in me."
And everyday I pray that you'll open my eyes to see things your way
Cause I wanna love like you,
Walk like you,
Live like you.
Whatever you have to do
Even if you change me Lord.
Change
That's the word that comes to mind when I think of all you've done for me.
Oh, oh, change
It's kinda' strange how people say that I act so differently
Oh, oh change
Every passing day I find it easier to say...
I am lost in the see-thru, I think you lost yourself too,
Throughout all of this confusion, I hope I somehow get to you,
I practiced all the things I'd say, To tell you how I feel,
And when I finally get my chance, It all seems so surreal,
'Cause from the first time I saw you, I only thought about you,
I didn't know you, I wanted to hold onto, The things you'd never say to me,
'Cause you said
You can't change the way you feel,
I could never do that, I could never do that,
But you can't tell me this ain't real,
'Cause this is real
And you would see right through that,
In the end it's all I've got, So I'm gonna hold onto that,
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on,
Now you've got me watching your eyes,
Got me waiting just to see, If it goes the way it never will,
Your eyes are watching me, and now you've got me thinking 'bout,
The first time that I met you, Standing in a crowded room,
But I could only see you, And I hope my words will get through,
'Cause now I can't forget you, I want to tell you,
If only I could reach you, And make you feel this way,
What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
Do you call her over hand her the change
Ask her a story ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
What'cha gonna do when you're watching t.v.
And an ad comes on
Yeah you know the kind
Flashin' up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day you can save a life
Do you call the number reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel call it a scam
Or do you tell yourself
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
The worlds so big it could break your heart
And you just wanna help
But not sure where to start
so you close your eyes
Send up a prayer into the dark
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't you listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
An idea comes to mind
Paint a picture for the blind
As the pen reaches the paper
And the words they
Find their rhyme
Am I hoping for an answer
While the clock ticks in time
Ticks in time
I'm at the center of attention
Will they feel the
Anger in my words
Will they feel the
Passion in my voice
Will my cries be heard
Will I change the world
Will I make a subtle difference
Can I see the signs
Will I change the time
I'm not trying to be the hero
Will I change the world
Can we change
An artist leaves his
Dreams on a canvas
The poet bleeds his soul
Placed upon a pedestal
With meanings they left untold
Are they searching for the truth
While their hearts,
Their hearts unfold
The stories told
Did they escape into a painting
Or within a simple rhyme
Leaving the world to chase them
Talking about you
Down at Gino's
He said he'd seen you
Fooling around with John
Well what do you think
That you're doing with that loser
He's never one for hanging around too long
Something has gone wrong
And I can see the change in you
I was thinking maybe I should call you
We need to talk about the way you act
We've got to sit down
And work it out together
Cause you've changed and,
baby, that's a fact
Why do you seem so amused
You never used to be so cruel
Why am I confused
I can't believe it
She says the things that she does
She does for the sake of love
Tryin¡¯ to understand me
She holds her head in her hands
Says I¡¯m an impossible man
I think she¡¯d like to change me
I think she wants to change me
I think she¡¯d like to change me
Change me¡..change
The things she said that she needs
Never made much sense to me
And she talks to me of freedom
Another lock, another key
Another chain, she makes for me
She has no sense or reasons
I think she wants to change me
I think she¡¯d like to change me
Change me¡..change
Lead
She says the things that she does
She does for the sake of love¡..love
Tryin¡¯ to understand me
Another lock, another key
Another chain, she makes for me¡¡no¡..no
She has no sense or reasons
I think she wants to change me
I think she¡¯d like to change me
Change me¡..change.

Hey - be wary of your heroes
They will always disappoint you
OK I know that you are lonely
You're reaching out but only - they don't even respect you
Now I don't mean to make you feel sad
But I feel down when they treat you so bad
Always another passing fancy
And you only call me when you're feeling down
They, they all get to hold you
I get to console you if no one else is around
Now I don't mean to scare you away
But I have a need that won't go away
Oh no - be wary of your heroes
Again I don't want to hear it
Don't want to be near it, it only tears me apart
So now, call me yours or let me go
Call me yours or let me know and let me make a new start
Now I don't mean to scream at the stars
But you dodge the truth like so many passing cars
Oh no - be wary of your heroes
Change the way the wind blows
Change the way the wind blows
So long
Look through the square or round window
Now a change a gonna come
Whether you come by bus or underground
Still a change a gonna come
If you're north or if you're south
You know a change a gonna come
Whether by fax or word of mouth
Still a change a gonna come.
Meters peaking
Truth is leaking out into the sticks
Too late now no turning back now
'cos the switches have been flicked
Goalposts moving
Signposts pointing you the wrong way
They're screwing up
You're queuing up
Come back another day.
If you're old or if you're young
You know a change a gonna come
No matter where you come from
What colour - black, white or brown
Government man plan
Mash up in a britain
Criminal justice bill me bawl
Where them get it from?
Them can't understand
Just want to build up tension
But just watch the future
'cos a change a gonna come
Adf is here to show you how it should be done
And we know that this style is identical to none!
Yeah!
Bureaucrat, democrat, fatcat
Too long they've had their way
A breeze of sleaze coming to blow them away
Satellites crashing down on india
We say no way
Adf broadcasting
We no ramp we no play.
We get madddddddd.....
What them a say
What them a chat 'bout
This is reality man
You can't run adf out.
What them a do what them a talk 'bout
All of the politician run up on your mouth
Change change change see it all the time
Look look look
I could write a book about my life
Baby blue I love you
Look look look
I could write a book about my life
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Baby blue I love you
Blue blue blue
I could write a book about your life
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Looking through the windowshade,
Stare at streets that bare no name,
Now it all looks strange to me,
Yesterday seems like a dream,
But i often try too hard,
To break the routine of my day,
Turn around see what i see,
Can't help wishing it could.
Change, Change, again,
Unchain myself, i will.
See the faces in the crowd,
Busy streets they move around,
Underground seems such a drag,
Waiting still and then we change,
The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse.
Tomorrow till tomorrow comes.
As it drags me there i feel,
A sence of urgency unviel,
Whats in store for us today,
Read the papers drift away.
Change, we change again,
We change, again,
Unchain myself,
I will.
Oh how i hate to feel this way,
The more i wait to see it change,
The more i see the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse.
(Craig Wiseman/Mark Selby)
Billy's standing out by a west Texas highway
With his thumb in the morning air
He's spent 18 summers in the dust of Odessa
Never getting nowhere
But he got him a misspelled cardboard
Of Albuquerque standin' in the breakdown lane
He ain't lookin' for a ride so much as he's looking for a
Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change
Even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Sometimes you just cross that line
Where everything is more of the same
When it's do or die, step aside, turn the tide
Somethin's gotta change
Betty's walkin' out of a tattoo parlor
She's got curlers in her hair
She still can't believe she had a little red rose
Put right on her derriere
And she's still gotta pick up that red lace teddy
And a bottle of pink
Well her husband doesn't know it
But tonight he's in for a
Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change
Even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Sometimes you just cross that line
Where everything is more of the same
When it's do or die, step aside, turn the tide
Somethin's gotta change
Now who of us hasn't been heading home on Friday
Sitting at some traffic light
Wondering what would happen if we hung a left
Instead of takin' that faithful old right
It's the human condition
A part of us wishes that life wouldn't get so tame
And we all know better than to think that's ever gonna
Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change
Even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Looking for a change
Change
Yeah a change
Looking for a change, yeah
[Verse 1]
I just wanna give you something you can talk about
Although it's kind of controversial, betcha think about
You're looking fine, it's kind of strange
Sometimes you really dream of a change
All the talk about a perfect look just brings you down
'Cause you believe who's got an inner beauty wears the crown
Make up your mind and break those chains
Sometimes you gotta go for a change
[Chorus]
If your baby's gone with somebody else
Ch ch change
If you suga's gotcha foolin' yourself
Ch ch change
If you life is kind of strange, get up and rearrange
Make a change, change, change
Make a change
[Verse 2]
Now you see you gotta do something to get it on
Only nothing comes from nothing, this is goin' on
Wake up and move, don't be ashamed
There'll be no better time for a change
Don't care if other people tell you what to do
The only one who knows about you will be always you
Start to complain, don't stay the same
I bet nobody helps you to change
[Chorus 2]
If your baby's gone with somebody else
Ch ch change
If you suga's gotcha foolin' yourself
Ch ch change
If you life is kind of strange, get up and rearrange
Make a change, change, change
Make a change
Don't you give a damn about what they say
Ch ch change
If you're slavin' for a dollar a day
Ch ch change
If you're loosin' every game that you play
Ch ch change
If your life is kind of strange, get up and rearrange
Don't you give a damn about them
Just change
[C-part]
You look like a beauty queen
Just trust in yourself
Don't be no one else
'Cause I believe that nobody
Can keep you from just making a change
[Chorus]
If your baby's gone with somebody else
Ch ch change
If you suga's gotcha foolin' yourself
Ch ch change
If you life is kind of strange, get up and rearrange
Make a change, change, change
Make a change
Oh oh oh
Oh oh change
If you're slavin' for a dollar a day
Ch ch change
If you're loosin' every game that you play
Ch ch change
If your life is kind of strange, get up and rearrange
Make a change, change, change
Make a change
Ch ch change
Ch ch change
Ch ch change
[VERSE:]
I said what is that you're saying today
The exact opposite of yesterday
It's funny how things can change
And your mind gets rearranged
[CHORUS:]
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
[VERSE:]
When I look your way I don't know what to say
Cause you change your style almost every day
It's funny the way things went down
Cause you're the one still stuck in this town
[CHORUS:]
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
[VERSE:]
I'm gonna break it down, and I gotta let you know
To you life is just a fashion show
That's the way I feel inside
That makes me laugh at how hard that you try
[CHORUS:]
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
[BRIDGE:]
What will you do
What will you say
Does it depend on what they're doing that day
It just you know used to be somehow you lost yourself
You've lost yourself
[CHORUS:]
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
[VERSE:]
I said what is that you're saying today
The exact opposite of yesterday
It's funny how things can change
And your mind gets rearranged
[CHORUS:]
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
My pockets are empty
Fear's such a thief
You know how that goes
I used to think
You couldn't love a mess like me
Then You came in so close
As my heart settles
You do the impossible
You change me, You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
Like a bullet in a wound
It needs to be removed
But only by You, only by You
And though I feel so stuck
The hope in Your eyes is enough
To change me, You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
Now that I see Your face
I'll never be the same
You change me, You change me
Thank You, Jesus

[Diddy:]
I'll do anything for you,
For you I'll change the world.
No more wars, No more poverty,
No more hurt, No more pain,
You showed me how to love you again.
For you I change the world.
Pain singing...
[Chorus: T-Pain]
If I could change the world.
Ooh... I would be the sunlight in your universe.
Ooh. You will think my love oh really something good baby.
If I could change [x2]
If I could change the world.
The world [x3]
[T-Pain:]
Ooh there would be no more wars opportunity knockin' on doors for us, for us.
Nobody ain't know each other.
Buddies turning into lovers for us, for us.
Oh when the moonlight turns to sunshine everybody waking up to abandon dreams.
Uh uh Uh uh
Cause everybody need what they want but don't want want they need let's talk about you.
Let's change.
[Chorus]
Change to the world hey yayaya.
[Akon:]
If I could change the world, I order for the line to be erased that the border this day (this day).

That means so much more love and unity.
Daughters will be close to thy mothers sons are being raised by their fathers today (today).
A good family ain't nothing greater.
Raise crumbs, hate crumbs that never exist.
I'll turn every bullet to a hershey's kiss (kiss) and we can eat away our fear (fear).
Oh.

[Mary J. Blige:]
There would be no self hate.

Everyone will understand had it on a tip have some piece you must believe, believe the best in you (believe I can change)
[Chorus]
Oh...
(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull)
What we got here
Is not a fool's dream
We really feel the need
We've come to ground
Like prisoners on the run
Just minutes away from freedom
Ain't no use in fooling ourselves
We really feel the need
Whatever it takes
Nothing will be too much
We both long for better days
Baby, we're different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears
And the paralysing fear
That brings us to our knees
Chorus:
Change
Bring on the changes
Change
Bring on the changes
It's no pretending, no denying
When you really feel the neeed
Going to hang on and be strong
Turn the tables, make the change
The two of us, different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears
And the paralysing fear
That brings us to our knees
Chorus x 2
There's gotta be some give and take
If we ever gonna make a change
Chorus x 2
change, change, change
change, change, change
If I were your brother
could I spill your blood on me
We, who share a mother
would we spite the sons
she sees?
Walls are crumbling
cities are burning
the presidents on tv
bombs are falling
the fire is rain
as walls close in on me
change, change, change
change, change, change
If Fate brought out a leader
would you kill him for your cause
Though he be your sole salvation
pull the trigger without pause
Faith is crumbling
cities are burning
the war's on cable tv
Hope is falling
the fire is rain as
walls come down on me
change, change, change
change, change, change
If there's one solution
there could be one for every man
who cries for constitution
finds belief inside of ";can";
The clouds are lifting
The houses, the homes
The soaps are on tv
and me, asleep somewhere
in this country
basking in the dream
change, change, change
I'm basking in the dream
You
Who made the whole world with your hand
Walked along this land
Humbled as a man
You came down
and you changing the water to wine
Gave your greatest sign
By changing lives like mine
How did You know
I'd eventually go
And take you for the Lord of my life?
I'm so glad for
You
How did you stand the shame
When they laughed at your name
Your Father felt such pain
Well how'd you take it
But You
Spoke not a word to defend
Cause they'd see in the end
When you rose again
Whenever you spoke
All the demons awoke
And would tremble with fear at your sight
And you
Loving a world filled with hate
And though the hour is late
You still chose to wait
But it won't be long until
You
Take the whole world by surprise
They won't believe their eyes
When You come through the skies
When You return
All the foolish will learn
That they waited too long to decide
Don't wait too long to decide
If ever, you had said to me before
That I would live this life
That I am livin' now I guess, it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside
And have so much that I could feel
Some pride for in my life
So why is it that I feel like this?
How do I feel? I've been here before
I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me
To torment again and torture me like
It used to
I try and try to break away
From all the hate, I'm feelin'
For everyone of you that's ever
Done me wrong
I need to justify the reasons
For the way I'm livin'
I guess, I can't cause I don't feel like I deserve
How do I feel? I've been here before
I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me
To torment again and torture me like
It used to
So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding, I can't take away
All the shame I feel, forgive me
How do I feel? I've been here before
I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me
To torment again and torture me like
Words from the heart
Like verse of angels passing by
Are etched in time
The stones can't speak
My fleeting soul and inner peace
They cannot lie
I didn't need this pain
I never thought it could rain so hard on me
Change
Is only good when it is mutual
This life's perpetual
I came through grief
And I feel you near to me
A constant memory
Sit by the window
Watching summer rain fall down
Like April snow
I didn't want this pain
I never thought it could rain so hard on me
ChangeIs only good when it is mutual
This life's perpetual
I didn't want this pain
And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you?re getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now from things they never found
They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared
You can walk away and say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this
'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
Tonight we standed on our knees
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?
It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in
We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Don't you ever wonder why, nothing ever seems to change
If it does it's for the worse, seems it's just a modern curse
Sometimes when I take a peek outside of my little cage,
Everyone looks so asleep, will they die before they wake
And, hey. . . Don't you know? We're just products of our time and Hey . . .
What d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Better dumb and happy than smart and without any friends
Better cute and better loud, better join up with the crowd
Keep up or be left behind, there's a dust storm in my mind
Seems I can't see straight these days, doesn't matter anyway
Hey . . . Don't you know? We're just products of our times and
Hey, what d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Hey, what d'ya say? Hey, what d'ya say? Please don't ever -
Oh God, here's that question now. The one that makes me go insane
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never, never, never, never change
Do you want to change? Do you want to change right now?
Do you want to change . . . I like my stupid life, just the way it is
And I wouldn't even change it for a thousand flying pigs
And I like you just the way you are, I like your face just the way it is
And I wouldn't even change it for a herd of screaming kids
And I like you just the way you are, I like you though you may not like me back
I would dazzle you with brilliance, if I only had the knack
'Cause I like you just the way you are, I like this life just the way it is
And the castles all around me, have been melting now for years
And it kills my brain to think of all the time I wasted here
All the efforts, sweat, and broken hearts, the screaming and the tears
And I'm dreaming again . . . Floating in a pool of mud
Try to get back where I was and I don't really care
Got a little talking to, by the mirror in my room, and I don't really care . . .
Whispering voices from the dead, come from underneath my bed
And I don't really care . . .
I like my stupid life just the way it is
And the chaos that surrounds me like a flock of screaming pigs
And it hurts my brain to think of all the stupid things I've said
And if I could change the future I would change the past instead
And I'm dreaming again . . . and I'm dreaming again . . .
Baby - sometimes I worry about you
Sometimes you're so far away, tell me what to do
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about you
Sometimes I just can't believe everything you do
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about you
Every day I feel the same, don't you feel it too
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me
Seems I'm falling down a lot, in between the scenes
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me
Getting harder all the time, harder now to see
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me
Light another cigarette, have another dream
It's the same thing every day, nothing ever seems to change and I . . .
Do you really want to change?
Testaments and growing pains. Tranquilizers for the soul.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained - evolution's cruelest joke
Why is everyone upset? I once knew but I forget. Something happened,
Something strange, something it appears has changed
Hey . . . Don't you know? We're just products of our times
And hey, what d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Hey, what d'ya say? Hey, what d'ya say? Please don't ever -
Oh God, here's that question now, the one that makes me go insane
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never, never, never, never change
sinks his teeth in your leg
Tells you how now things are
going to be a little different
And he takes you down a peg
You make him ashamed for you
he buys you a new dress
Because you make him ashamed for you
he'd like you to took your best
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the dog bites down a little harder
As I stand here
I ponder greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams
So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
As I sit here I'll tell you greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of someone else's dreams
So much for your
Common escalations
So much for your
Constant fabrications
For what's to come
It's all been written down, down, down
I said for what's to come
For what's to come your way
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time
I run around for you
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
Run around for you
But you've gotta keep on, keep it on
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you'll feel it in your soul
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you feel it in your soul
Feel it in your soul now
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
As I lay here
I wanna fall asleep
No longer,
No longer a part of
A part of your TV screen
A part of your TV dreams
I said so much for your
So much for your
So much for your
Your common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come it's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
Now in these cynical times
Sterotypical minds
Got me falling from my pinnacle the minute I climb
Now these subliminal thoughts got individuals blind
I'm trying to look beyond the lies
Just to see what I'll find
I'm like a flower in a cave
Another hour in the maze
And I'll cower to the power of my criminal ways
The sun is shining but I'm catching minimal rays
It's time for me to grow out of this childish phase
My life is like a battle that I'll probably never win
'Cause I keep thinking big and risking everything
Life's a challenge and I wonder if I'll ever find the balance
Mixed emotions and confusion topped off with many talents
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(my life is twisted)
My finger's pointing in the mirror
I'm the one now
I see my shadow in the sun dial
Am I really out of change
Put my freedom in a cage
Slow down
Man I got a son now
There's nothing new thay all said it
And I know it but I had to go throught it myself
I'm hard-headed
That's the only way I'll learn
Get caught in the fire ther's no escaping the burn
And it burns
Change this
Change that
Change is full of lies
I remain the same cat wear a good disquise
Living life loking through my third blind crooked eye
So if I change I'd be changing for the worst wouldn't I?
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(my life is twisted)
I wanna run but if I run I'm only running form myself
Would it be easier if I were someone else
I'm like a child playin' with matches that's never beeen burned
Relearning all the lessons that I've already learned
On a highway to a destinatin I've earned
So many exits, but I've never bothered to turn
I'm like a piece of shard glass laying on a frame of a window
That was broken by the bricks of pain
Sometimes I feel just like the devil's guinea pig
He's watching me just to see how deep I can dig
I admit I'm fucked up and got a lot to learn
So now I'm dancing in the ashes of the bridge I've burned
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
Once you begin, you don’t know which way to turn
It's not the same again
I learned to read all the signs on your face
Nothing you can believe
No how do we find
Inner peace, I’ve long to find
How did you come to be
You’re so innocent, so blind
You’re not the same without me any more
Feeling the waves on your feet
You feel when you close your eyes it reminds you of the times you’ve had
Now I will tell you now
No, it's not the same
(yeah, but now you’re waiting)
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Anytime I fall
They sneered that is not the one that I should really fall for
Listening to this, is not the exact answers you’ve been looking for
But it's not the same, no it's not the same at all
(It’s the same)
No it's not the same
(yeah, but now you’re waiting)
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Did you try to call me after
Machine picks up cause no-one answered
Living a dream of your life
I fought for you
I waited to
(Yeah, but now you’re waiting)
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
Trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that never can happen again.
So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
Damned if what your feelin' isn't change.
And I will never see the truth
This is not a matter of my youth
I do not need anybody else
Bonds would put my mind into cells
And I will never know I was wrong
Never listen to those truly strong
I do not fear anything that's not me
Ignorance is the ultimate key
But I wouldn't want to live like this forever
But change myself? Never never!
The very thought sends shivers down my spine
I'm sure everything everything will be fine
I am the one who cries out at night
For somebody to change my very core
Not sure why I live in endless fright
Doomed to love only myself for evermore
I am the one who has no real friends
Shallow people flocking to my banner
Always trying to make easy amends
Cherishing my own overbearing manner
Life - always fragile
I will never change
Love - always fleeting
I will never change
Life - always fragile
I will never change
Love - always fleeting
I will never change
But I wouldn't want to live like this forever
Maybe I really was too clever
But I wouldn't want to end like that
I would die lonely and incredibly sad
I will never drag myself out of this
The shadows of my past bogging me down
Feeling lost in turmoil and crisis
My face forever set in an endless frown
I have been hurt beyond mental repair
Thence destined to suffer eternal damnation
No one can be there for me to care
But without I will never find salvation
Lust - always empty
But I will never change
Death - always tempting
But I will never change
Lust - always empty
But I will never change
Death - always tempting
But I will never change
Everything is about control
I must never slip nor ever fall
Anything is possible for me
I must never doubt and finally be free
And finally be free
~ChOrUs~
Even though you don't want me, I will wait for you.
And I know this is your world your gonna do what you wanna do.
Just becuase the things I did. I'm always put to shame.
So if you let me in your world, I promise I will Change.
*VeRsE1:There's no doubt no question, on what you been doing for years.
Corrupt both of our worlds, now you livin in tears.
You cried you my only one, look me dead in the eye.
What a fool to believe, girl for you I would die.
Thought I found my one and only girl.
To share my life, and share my World.
Second guessing on myself, never cross the line.
Never once doubt in you, try to play my mind.
The best things always come in twos,
but after this one time, I couldn't stick around, cuz of the wicked way you choose
Though you were my baby boo,
The time came around to represent on what a man had to do.
Swirvin, weaving, hid beneath this section.
Fuck all the drama never should i have to mention,
but just incase you wanna really take a swirl,
Don't trust nobody when it comes to my world.
~ChOrUs~
*VeRsE2:For just once I got a hold of my world.
There's no more drama
No more sad or slow songs and drama about no girl.
I shifted out a foo and hit the breaks quick,
and thinking "Damn i coulda been there with this chick"
(It's crazy) girlfirend dont care care if vatos think she's stuck.
She was getting down with Anthony and Chuck.
(and for this chick?) life was nothing but an all day party she was livin,
and i couldnt get up in it, and if i did (guess what?)
Then id be like the next man found fighting,
when I found that they're pounding on your back,
and its still the same, but you claim things change.
Tryna blame me for your games. (Please)
It's all cool baby it's nobodys fault but mine,
for goin on a ride on cloud nine.
I coulda gave you my whole world then.
but I'd probably be sharing it with them.
~ChOrUs~
2x:Nobody's gonna shape my world &
Nobody's gonna make my world &
Nobody's gonna break my world &
Nobody's gonna take my world.
*VeRsE3:The truth lies in the soul not to save the lease.
There's noone to blame cuz the pain is in the beast.
You know right from wrong,
so stop holding on
Look on the brightside,
You're fortunate to be in my song.
There's no exception, don't question what I believe.
It's all good, till you tangled up the way i believe.
With our heart and soul, and a mind of gold,
There will never be another like you in my world.
You still lookin at me sideways (why?) cuz i just sang my sad song,
and you still cant believe im gone,
but you know i really understand, it's hard to swallow what i said,
when I think about the lies you fed.
And it aint all bad, it's actually all good,
knowing that i did what i could (for real)
You shouldn't let it get you down and blue,
think im dedicating this song to you (You feel me?)
And so she woke up from a dream
that was beautiful and starry and oh so wild
it was all still clear in her eyes
and though her mind was foggy and blank
she wondered why
her life couldn't be as lovely it was time
there was this king he had a castle or throne
but his horse was great and white
he rode alone and liked it that way
but when he met her he swore
he would never leave her side
they road across the land two lovers hand in hand
and no danger would come near
and when somthing made her cry
she'd look at him teary eyed
and he would make her feel better
so much better so much better than before
and now this forest was his home
it was a night time and the right time for love in the dark
she placed her hand upon her chest
and all the rest just flowed
makin' love down under an ancient far away night
it was so grand just holding someone's hand
and now safety came naturally
it was so clear that she would never have to fear
oh tell me a story of magic and spiralling ships
and the stars in the night
just whisper in my ears make it soft make it clear
I want to hear every breath you say
she placed her hand upon her breast
but she woke up from the land tears falling in her hands
as she looked up asking why
she laid back in her bed thoughts rising in her head
why can't my life be beautiful she said
as she closed her eyes again
just prayin' he'd return
but only darkness fell upon her
If you knew that you would die today
Saw the face of god and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low that you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?
How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change
If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth
That would bring a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?
How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change
Are you so up right
You can't be bent
If it comes to blows
Are you so sure you won't be crawling
If not for the good why why risk falling
Why risk falling?
If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you saw the face of God and loved
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?
Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him
What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Aint got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying
How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way
Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true
You say you feel a chill in the season
Like something is falling apart
You say you can't hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart
But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it's bending your will like a willow tree twisting
Trying to regain its form
How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven
shining down
Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it's throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform
How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you
My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize the smile playing tricks on your lips and I
wonder again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do
I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it scream at the hurt that I knew
How I wish you'd only see...
What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I've built around my pseudo
world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just
pass along
I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity's
waiting alone
I see the world - it's rotten now. Cause everyone believes the waves. All things are wrong - nothing's right - and all the shapes are rumbling in their caves. You can't change the world, but you change yourself. You better live your life before you're dead. The might makes blind to everyone. Corruption is reality, you ar the enemy no. one, if you don't want confirmity.
Change, it's time for change
Change, nothing stays the same
Change, it's time for change
Change, nothing stays the same
Something new is happening in the 80's
Just for you but you can't get lazy
All you do is just make up your mind
It's time
The key to life is your attitude
Make sure you doing what you wanna do
And watch your goals unfold right before your eyes
Yes, oh, yeah
Education don't forget it
'Cause if you do, you will regret it
Technology has gone stone mad
If you missed this that's tough to bear
But it talks no doubt about it
And push it more, nothing without it
Don't let your life just slip away
Oh, you've got to say it
Change

Chorus:Someday a change is gonna come-It may not be right now oh yeah yeah yeah,sometimes you got to hold on-Hold on oh cause your help is on the way yes it is.
So you weigh the cost then you ask yourself,what can you lose cause you got nothing else,so you pack your troubles to walk away cause there's no weak such to stay yeah yeah.

(Chorus 2x)
Vamp:Said you gotta hold on(yeah yeah)
you gotta hold on(gotta hold on)

oh yes you do(oh yes you do)
Well they're moving to St. Augustine
That's where the cool folks go
Packing up those bibles man.
Nothing for them here they know.

See the world. See what you can do.
There's a lot you're gonna have to answer for out there
