Lyrics:

Yeah we say that making changes starts in the little things ya do

Revolution begins at home but for most of us it ends at 2

We're doing something, we're making changes, like changing the brand of crap we buy

We say it makes a difference but thats just another lie

It used to be us and them, and you and me

And now we cant reach our potential without a common enemy

A real war to fight against, instead of our petty disagreements

How can I rationalize my life during wartime lie?

A connection and a reaction

Taking our life into our own hands

Instead of sitting around and talking about the same old stupid bands

Well the wars going on right now but I'm not doing anything about it

Without a crowd I'm not so loud

I can't do anything by myself

But thats just another lie.

Have fun this is right by the way so dont even think of correcting it.
