Change

La, la-la-la, la

La, la-la-la

La, la-la-la, la

La, la-la-la

I saw a dried up river and a rich man

Turnin' on a garden hose

I see a young man pickin' up a gun

I guess that's where the money goes, yeah

Am I just as good as a bad man

Sleepin' while the rest are dyin'? Yeah

Or am I just as bad as a good man

Sayin' there's no use in tryin'? Yeah

(Ooh) Tell me, do you still believe

(Ooh) Everything that you read?

Till we learn to get together

And see who we really are

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

If nobody's gonna wake up

And start askin' who's in charge

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

La-la, la, la-la-la-la, la, la, yeah

And ain't shit changin' but diapers on babies

Get higher than the background singers singin'

La, la-la-la, la (Huh, singin')

La, na-na-na (Okay, singin')

Some people do it all for money

And some do it all for the love, yeah

Some do it all for the glory

'Cause nothin' else they're thinkin' of

I saw a man in a four-door truck

Complainin' that the price is high

Like a well-feed man with a spoon in his hand

Sayin', "Who ate all the apple pie?" Yeah

(Ooh) Tell me, do you still believe, yeah

(Ooh) Everything that you read?

Till we learn to get together

And see who we really are

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

If nobody's gonna wake up

And start askin' who's in charge

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

La-la, la, la-la-la-la, la, la, yeah

Uh, if I ain't ready to listen, I'm never gonna listen

Most follow intuition while they wishin' it would work

And my vision is imperfect, so I don't ever look for it

They all wishin' for some change like a church worker

Hallelujah, preacher, I am not influenced

If I don't donate to your movement, am I not improving?

And while the poor kill the poor for a portion

A piece of American society pie, I get high

The munchies I got, so bear witness

I got this girl lookin' at you 'cause my ribs kissin'

Mwah, and I ain't ready to wait

When there's dollars on their brain, why would you expect change?

Till we learn to get together

And see who we really are

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

If nobody's gonna wake up

And start askin' who's in charge

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

Ain't nothin' gonna change

No, no, yeah

And ain't shit changin' but diapers on babies

Get higher than the background singers singin'

La, la-la-la, la (Singin')

La, la-la-la
