Can't Change the World with a Song - Adolescents

Michael Ess told me when we were kids

I had my head in the clouds

That music really didn’t matter

And my vision, my vision was blurred

My head got stuck on what he said

I walked out instead

Last time I saw my friend

He came back high on Zen

Just keep believing

Nothing is wrong

You can’t change the world with a song

Last time I saw her she was a wreck

I mean a beautiful mess

The kind with pinpoint eyes

Blue skies, and alibis

And oh my, she taught me to fly

And I never asked why

I had nowhere to go

She moved too fast

I moved too slow

Just keep believing

Nothing is wrong

You can’t change the world with a song

Just keep believing

Nothing is wrong

You can’t change the world with a song

The past is buried where it belongs

In a hole brought back by songs

For me that’s alright

I ain’t losing sleep at night

Marc the Red, he needed more

Bought Jesus at the liquor store

We share nothing at all

Just a chequered past and a creepy crawl

Just keep believing

Nothing is wrong

You can’t change the world with a song
