EVERYBODY screaming for solutions
we all know how unaware politicans are
we all know how God love us all

We can change the world

People starving from confusion
mothers with babies they cannot feed
fathers who cannot find a job

We can change the world

We're all complicit 
because we can change the world
its a spirit of unwillingness today

And it's today and not alright

So let's change the world
older people say this is wrong
younger ones say teach me

The solution is within your heart
no, not above clouds
so we all bleed and cry

Put away the gun and hatred
Put away acrid words of the devil

We can change the world

A world inside a class
a teacher who hasn't shown
up for teaching evolution

Let's get this right!
Alright?  Okay yea.

It's the constitution.
Bill of Rights.
The blood our fathers and 
mothers bled for us to scream out!

Anyhow you know it'll be alright.

Children crying.  Grown ones cower.
How my God it's not right.
