See I look around me, and all I see is d**h, misery and pain
And it's simply strange, because if we're made in the image of the one we call God
Than what does that say for him, man isn't it odd
That we're just trying to survive
But even a stable 9-5 isn't enough to get you by
And we wonder why so many commit suicide
And the truth is so rare that we've come to welcome all their lies
And let them mask it as the truth until it affects our own life
Then it becomes hard to pay the bills and you ask yourself
How, why and will I take a f**in' stand – maybe not now
But soon...
Man I swear I'll make a change
I'mma a**ess my own life and I will rearrange
Every aspect, not only to benefit myself, but also the ones I love
I'm not a firm believer but if there is someone above
Then I know there's a better place than the hell I live in now
So somebody show me how...
Can we change ourselves just a little to accept
That all our hearts beat deep inside of our chest
And we're all part of one mind
If you don't understand than unwind
I know it's not easy to comprehend
But if not now then maybe sometime
We will learn to change the world by starting with ourselves
And find that what we really need is not something on a shelf
We'll open our damn minds and realize we need help
Because we're k**ing the world around us and the ignorance is felt
Man, I remember I used to walk down this path and the trees kept it shady
Then one year some money hungry prick decided to say well maybe
We should build some condos near a golf course to define a higher living
Than what this town is living now
Well... We might not be the richest bunch but we're living f**ing proud
If we don't sell d** or do d** but of course we smoke our weed
And have a few beers on the weekend and sometimes it's what we need
To escape the daily struggle that we're forced to live through
I know it's not like this for all of us but it certainly is true
That there's always someone else who has it worse than you do
But if you keep on pushing than chances are you'll finally move through
And all the blood sweat and tears you shed will never be in vain
And there will come a time where you won't need to mask your pain
You'll be able to enjoy the fresh air and won't feel so insane
But remember what they say, without sacrifice there will be no gain
Can we change ourselves just a little to accept
That all our hearts beat deep inside of our chest
And we're all part of one mind
If you don't understand than unwind
I know it's not easy to comprehend
But if not now then maybe sometime
We will learn to change the world by starting with ourselves
And find that what we really need is not something on a shelf
We'll open our damn minds and realize we need help
Because we're k**ing the world around us and the ignorance is felt
First let me congratulate our governments for constantly saying we need to prevent this climate change
Than again nothings been done since 2009 so maybe that's why I'm enraged
I'm no environmentalist I feel about the same
As at least a million other people so when are we going to actually try and save
This planet that supplies our food, and stop concerning if we get paid
Somebody please answer this, when will we ever see the day
Where we think with our heads instead of our wallets
Instead of money we should be donating even the smallest
Amount of time that we can come spare
Why is it that we only act like humans in times of despair
Huh... You know. I've never even thought about it
Until I just said it... f**in'... I don't know
I don't know what to say, but uh...
Can we change ourselves just a little to accept
That all our hearts beat deep inside of our chest
And we're all part of one mind
If you don't understand than unwind
I know it's not easy to comprehend
But if not now then maybe sometime
We will learn to change the world by starting with ourselves
And find that what we really need is not something on a shelf
We'll open our damn minds and realize we need help
Because we're k**ing the world around us and the ignorance is felt
