Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We all got big plans but nothing to do
Saturday afternoon couch surfin' the news
We get high to escape the new locals
What the TV shows ain't nothing
But a heartbreak on a dead-end road
We're all tired of the shit they're saying
We don't understand so we keep waiting
For our moment to shine
For one chance to make it right
For a reason to try
[Verse 2]
Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
The world's begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves
Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just tryin' to be something, be something
[Verse 3]
All I want is somehow to make my folks proud
Thought it'd take a few months in a ten-year town
But it's hard and harder to pray and harder to say
I'm sorry but I'm workin' and I can't talk today
I'm so tired of the shit I'm saying
I don't like it but hell I keep on waiting
For a moment to shine
To make it all alright
To make 'em smile
I wanna make 'em smile
[Verse 4]
Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
The world's begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves
Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just tryin' to be something, be something
[Verse 5]
I just wanna make 'em smile
I'm so tired of the shit I'm saying
I just wanna mean something
I'm so tired of the shit I'm saying
[Verse 6]
Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
The world's begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves (Helping ourselves)
Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just tryin' to be something, be something
[Verse 7]
Ain't we all just trying to mean something
Ain't we all, ain't we all
Ain't we all just trying to mean something
