Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
We inherit the world when it's
Kicked down wheezing and begins to bleed
I wanna drown my brain 'til it's saturated
With the irony
What to do now? I'm inundated
Freedom of choice is overrated
Every kid finds that he's subjugated to the apathy
All the youth want is just to change the world
Change the world!
And the older, the more we try to change the youth
And that's the news, yeah
Change the world!
Change the world!
Change the world!
Change the world!
And what you call reckless abandon
I call abandonment of the youth, now where's the proof
I guess that's in the pudding, I've got you jumping up and down
Like your name was Cuba Gooding Jr.
At the Oscars, wild in the streets
Running, looking to your youth, and you start shunning
Remember back in the days, chill in the hood
Passing out tracts, talking about the news was good
Nowadays that can't happen without the danger
You're looking to the youth, to the fact they're no stranger
Your job's uplifting, help them all cope
Through times of social trials, help generate hope
Times of the socialist reign the soul
Everything now to offer all control
It wasn't handed down but borrowed from the children
Ignite the torch and not offer damp kindling
All the youth want is just to change the world
Change the world!
And the older, the more we try to change the youth
And that's the news, yeah
All the kids say it's time to change the world
Change the world!
And the older, the more we try to change the youth
And that's the news, yeah
Our youth are molotov cocktails ready to ignite
When will we define for ourselves what's wrong and what's right
Then set forth the hounds to track down this present evil
But for my generation, there can be no sequel
End times await to shatter dreams and bite at heels
Only love and its wounds can hope truly reveal
This is our time, this is our necessity
To fight against all types of social conformity
I've embraced the failure
I've accepted the truth
And now I must praise
Respect, pray, and educate the youth
