Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who'd like to change the world?
Who wants to shoot the curl?
Who gets to work for bread?
Who wants to get ahead?
[Verse 2]
Who hands out equal rights?
Who starts and ends that fight?
And not rant and rave
Or end up a slave
[Verse 3]
Who can make hard-won gains
Fall, like a summer rain?
Now every man must be
What his life can be
So don't call me
The tune, I will walk away
[Verse 4]
Who wants to please everyone?
Who says it all can be done?
Still sit up on that fence
No one I've heard of yet
[Verse 5]
Don't call me baby
Don't talk in maybes
Don't talk like has-beens
Sing it like it should be
[Verse 6]
Who laughs at a naggin' down?
Lyin' on a neon shroud, runnin' around, yeah
Just gotta touch someone
Hey, I wanna be
[Verse 7]
So don't call me
The tune, I will walk away
(Don't) Call me
The tune, I will walk away
(Don't) Call me
The tune, I will walk away
[Verse 8]
One country
One country
One country
One country
[Verse 9]
(One country) Who wants to sit around?
(One country) Turn it up, turn it down?
(One country) Only a man can be
(One country) What his life can be
[Verse 10]
(Country one) One vision
(Country one) One people
(Country one) One landmass
(Country one) Be our defenses
(Country one) We have a lifeline
[Verse 11]
(Country one)
One ocean
One policy
See bad light
One passion
One movement
One instant
One difference
One lifetime
One understandin'
[Verse 12]
(Country one) Yeah, one country
(Country one) Yeah, one country
(Country one) I tell you, it's one country
(Country one) Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 13]
(Country one) Yeah one, one, one
(One country)
(One country) One, one, one, one country
One
(Country one) One understandin'
[Verse 14]
Transgression, redemption (Country one)
One island blue, our place, magic (Country one)
One firmament, one element
One moment, one fusion
Is so on time
