I lie to myself - I say everything is fine
I lie to myself - I do it all the time
I tell myself that this is such a beautiful place
The land of the free
Beautiful people with wonderful taste
We're bein' all we can be
We're being all we can be - we can be
Yeh yeh yeh
I want to change the world but it's changin' me
We lie to ourselves - we say that things are okay
We have to lie to ourselves everyday
Oh well I say hello - How do you do ?
You say fine how about you ?
And I'll say the same little things back too...
But we still got hate
And we still got war
And we still don't know
What we're waiting for
And ignorance poverty and disease
I want to change the world before it changes... me
Before it changes me
I want to change the world but it's changin' me
I want to change the world but it's changin' me
I want to change the world but it's changin' me
I want to change the world but it's changin' me
I want to change the world but it's changin' me
I want to change the world...
