lyrics

This goes out to the minors with acoustic guitars
Playing for change on the street since they can't play in bars
This goes out to the girls who don't wear make up
Regardless of society telling them they aren't good enough

But it's my point of view that society's lying
It's just the reason why everyone's trying
Way too hard to be something they're not
A free thinking mind is a thing that can't be bought

We sing this song for change in the world
Because it's time for those who say no to the norm
To get recognition for revolution
It's time that we all find some sort of solution

This one goes out to all the vegetarian kids
I applaud your self control to make a difference
This one goes out to men who aren't afraid to cry
Not caught up in that cheesy trite about being a tough guy

But it's my point of view that society's lying
It's just the reason why everyone's trying
Way too hard to be something they're not
A free thinking mind is a thing that can't be bought

We sing this song for change in the world
Because it's time for those who say no to the norm
To get recognition for revolution
It's time that we all find some sort of solution

Goodbye suburbia, hello open fields
Don't become a model of something that's unreal
Today is the day
Don't throw your self away
Today is the day
It's time to stand and say...

We sing this song for change in the world
Because it's time for those who say no to the norm
To get recognition for revolution
It's time that we all find some sort of solution
For the benefit of all of mankind
