lyrics

The young they wanna see change
The old they are stuck in their ways
Everyone’s an activist at 22
Dreaming of a better place this world could be

The hopeful boy turned into a pessimist
The drive is gone cos nothing can change all this
Living in a world that has gone mad
While you wish upon the dreams that you once had

Tell me, what’s going on in this world that we live in?
Sick of the fights, so sick of division
This land don’t belong to anyone
So why can’t we all just get along?
Tell me, what’s going on in this world that we live in
We’re all on the same path, just trying to fit in
The ones at the top talk austerity
But the ones at the bottom say ‘that don’t work for me’
It’s time to change!
It's time for change!

Losing hope don’t happen over night
It’s years of trying and giving up the fight
Everyone has given up by 29
When you realise each petition was such a waste of time

The young man says the things he said he’d never say
That ‘there’s no point in trying cos you can’t make a change’
When you’ve seen peaceful protest fall upon deaf ears
You give up on on the things that you once held so dear

Tell me, what’s going on in this world that we live in?
Sick of the fights, so sick of division
This land don’t belong to anyone
So why can’t we all just get along?
Tell me, what’s going on in this world that we live in
We’re all on the same path, just trying to fit in
The ones at the top talk austerity
But the ones at the bottom say ‘that don’t work for me’
It’s time to change!
It's time for change!

I felt a stirring in my soul at 32
An awakening of dreams I thought I no longer knew
A yearning for a change to make this world a better place to see some justice, a cry for hope
As I look out at this country that I call my home
But I don't feel patriotic, in fact, I feel so alone
Surrounded by division, no cry for unity
Just people in their silo’s crying out ‘me, me, me, me’

Tell me, what’s going on in this world that we live in?
Sick of the fights, so sick of division
This land don’t belong to anyone
So why can’t we all just get along?
Tell me, what’s going on in this world that we live in
We’re all on the same path, just trying to fit in
The ones at the top talk austerity
But the ones at the bottom say ‘that don’t work for me’
It’s time to change!
It's time for change!
