Select language to translate this lyric
Iâve spent years trying to change the world, but it always ends the same
Such a fruitless waste of time, âcause it ainât my world to change
I never had a change from way back when and thatâs how it remains
Itâs such a tragedy
Itâs such a shame
Weâre all to blame
Weâll do anything for a buck and you know itâs such a shame
Nobody cares where the money comes from as long as you donât complain
New shiny Chinese toys made from a childâs pain
We buy shoes with blood in the soles, how did we get so vain?
We lost track of our souls in unemployment lines
We lost our humanity somewhere in our selfish minds
I start over every day with a half a mind to change
But the pressure of modern life just beats me down again
While the plebs keep eating shit, Big brother has his way
Itâs just taxes, taxes, get in line or get the fuck out of my way
We lost track of our souls in unemployment lines
We lost our humanity somewhere in our selfish minds
Help me!
Thereâs got to be a lot of people like me
Who hate living in a society
That takes our pain so lightly
Can we get away together and start again?
Is it crazy to hope for better day?
Can people exist in harmony?
Without greed or hate or poverty
Or am I just wasting time?
Youâre just wasting time
Am I just wasting time?
Youâre just wasting time
Iâve spent years trying to change the world, but it always ends the same
Such a fruitless waste of time, âcause it ainât my world to change
I never had a change from way back when and thatâs how it remains
Itâs such a tragedy
Itâs such a shame
Weâre all to blame
