Lyrics
No jobs, high gas
'Bout to lose the middle class
Get sick, no cure
Fifty million uninsured
Talk is cheap and promises are free.
Congress deadlocked
Country's going into hock
Red state, blue state
Politics of fear and hate
Still there's hope for our posterity.
We've got to change
If we're gonna save this country.
We've got to change for our children's sake;
We need to face the truth.
The changing won't come easy,
At first it may seem strange..
To keep this country great
We've got to change.
Christian, Taliban
Fightin' in Afghanistan
Tutsi, Hutu
Brothers killin' sisters too
When it's shed
The blood's all red, you see.
People drinkin' beer in bars
Burning carbon in their cars
Thinkin' 'bout number one
Underneath the blazing sun
Are we facing global tragedy?
We've got to change
If we're gonna save our planet
We've got to change for our children's sake;
We need to face the truth.
The changing won't come easy,
At first it may seem strange..
To make our planet safe
We've got to change.
Yeah. We've got our problems
But thank God we're all free
Now the choice comes down to you and me...
We've got to change
If we're gonna save this country
We've got to change for our children's sake;
We need to face the truth.
The changing won't come easy.
At first it may seem strange..
To keep this country great
To make our planet safe
To save the human race
We've got to change.
