Waiting On The World To Change
- me and all my friends
-
we're all misunderstood
-
they say we stand for nothing and
-
there's no way we ever could
-
- now we see everything that's going wrong
-
with the world and those who lead it
-
we just feel like we don't have the means
-
to rise above and beat it
-
- so we keep waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
we keep on waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
- it's hard to beat the system
-
when we're standing at a distance
-
so we keep waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
- now if we had the power
-
to bring our neighbors home from war
-
they would have never missed a Christmas
-
no more ribbons on their door
-
- and when you trust your television
-
what you get is what you got
-
cause when they own the information, oh
-
they can bend it all they want
-
- that's why we're waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
we keep on waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
- it's not that we don't care,
-
we just know that the fight ain't fair
-
so we keep on waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
- and we're still waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
-
- one day our generation
-
is gonna rule the population
-
so we keep on waiting
-
waiting on the world to change
-
- we keep on waiting
-
waiting on the world to change

Vultures

How do i hold my head

-
- Down to the wire
-
I wanted water but
-
I'll walk through the fire
-
If this is what it takes

-
testing me, testing me, testing me
-

All of these vultures hanging
-
- right outside my door
-
I hear them whisperin
-

I wanted water but

-
I'll walk through the fire
-
- If this is what it takes
-
to take me even higher
-
then i'll come through
-
Like I do

Bold As Love
- Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
-
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
-
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
-
- Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
-
They quietly understand
-
- Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
-
But wonder why the fight is on
-
- But theyre all bold as love, yes, theyre all bold as love
-
Yeah, theyre all bold as love
-
Just ask the axis
-
- My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and
-
Ribbons of euphoria
-
Orange is young, full of daring,
-
- But very unsteady for the first go round
-
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
-
In fact Im trying to say its frigthened like me
-
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
-
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
-
But, Im eh , yeah, Im bold as love
-
Yeah, yeah
-
Well Im bold, bold as love
-
Im bold as love
-
- Just ask the axis
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah
