Change - Henry Taylor

1st verse

The real super villains are the politicians

They wear a mask to hide their true feelings

If they ever want to get in, then they have to start lying

And we believe them 'cause we’re taught the wrong thing

Our democracy’s an hypocrisy

Take an apple from the knowledge tree

When you bite, the core is rotten and full of disease

Recently the only sights i see around me

Is the same old thing like symmetry

Depression is an impression of oppression

Stressing is just a mental manipulation

From the pressure of the world that we live in

Life is a struggle and they’ll try and make you give in

Pouring on problems to dampen your flame

Pouring on pain as you strain to stay sane

Seems never ending like manchester rain

Look up, its in your eyes, makes you cry, when you see how they reign

I want change, want change

But if they ever wanted they could do it in a day

They claim change, won’t change

But if they ever wanted they could do it in a day, so

I’m frustrated

I’m not waiting

You’re all over rated

Im not hating

I’m just stating

That theres a change coming

I want change, want change

They claim, claim change

(but if they ever wanted they could do it in a day)

I want change, want change

I want change, want change

(but if they ever wanted they could do it in a day)

2nd verse

They say that the best things in life are free

But how free can they be chained to the tv

Feeding you the food from the ads in between

And all you ever see’s the same scene on your screen

They keep you unmotivated with over saturated hatred

In their statements, all dictated by those trying to keep their placement

Stay relevant, located in the high up places

Don’t worry its not just you that they’re keeping frustrated

Have ever listen to rap on the radio?

That’s a perfect example of the way it goes

Instead of playing the artists who connect with fans at their shows

They only play men calling women bitches and hoes

They manage it, create their own narrative

Try to tell us what kind of life that we should live

To be honest, I think I’ve had enough of it

But if what I’m sayings true, then you’ll never even hear this

I want change, want change

But if they ever wanted they could do it in a day

They claim change, want change

But if they ever wanted they could do it in a day, so

I’m frustrated

I’m not waiting

You’re all over rated

Im not hating

I’m just stating

That theres a change coming

3rd verse

So treat us with the disrespect we don’t deserve

Be derogatory with all of your words

We’re not just nouns, we are verbs

Taking action, doing what we learnt

Despite you best efforts, infiltrating lesson

Your evil hated beckons, we can all sense it

With each passing second, your clutch is slowly slipping

Like our hopes, up in smoke, like co2 emissions

We’ve seen the riots, seen the fire, which burn with desire

Now the flames are getting higher, pour petrol on the pile

Use up all water till all you can do is perspire

The water caused your machines to go haywire

Can’t dampen our spirits 'cause spirits are inflammable

Show we’re not soulless robots, who are programmable

Change is coming, our passion for it’s admirable

I’m trying to make this warning clear i hope It’s understandable

I want change, want change

But if they ever wanted they could do it in a day

They claim change, won’t change

But if they ever wanted they could do it in a day, so

I’m frustrated

I’m not waiting

You’re all over rated

Im not hating

I’m just stating

That theres a change coming

I want change, want change

They claim, claim change

(but if they ever wanted they could do it in a day)

I want change, want change

I want change, want change, so…

(but if they ever wanted they could do it in a day)

So I’m frustrated

I’m not waiting

You’re all over rated

Im not hating

I’m just stating

That theres a change coming

Outro

I want change, want change

I want change, want change

I want change, want change

It won’t change.

won’t change
