Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun
I stood and watched them as they fell off one by one
And everyone's so blind, they're not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks, and pull another one
[Verse 2]
(Oh) You don't wanna change the world like you say
(Oh) In it for yourself, no one else
(Oh) You're already savin' yourself, you're gonna change the world
(Oh) You're already savin' yourself, you're gonna change the world
[Verse 3]
Now when the day is set, they'll line up all the same
And those that need the most will never get or gain
The ones you call your friends are failin' you again
Reach into your bag of tricks, and make it go away
[Verse 4]
(Oh) You don't wanna change the world like you say
(Oh) You're in it for yourself, no one else
(Oh) You're already savin' yourself, you're gonna change the world
(Oh) You're already savin' yourself, you're gonna change the world
[Verse 5]
And since you ain't what you say, then just go away
Some don't lie, some don't lie
[Verse 6]
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
[Verse 7]
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
[Verse 8]
(I said oh) You don't wanna change the world like you say
(Oh) You're in it for yourself, no one else
(Oh) You're already savin' yourself, you're gonna change the world
(Oh) You're already savin' yourself, you're gonna change the world
[Verse 9]
And since you ain't what you say, then just go away
Some don't lie, some don't lie
[Verse 10]
"I think you guys should try heavy metal, kiss my ass, ha-ha-ha"
