lyrics

sometimes i am afraid
and sometimes can't listen to the radio
can’t turn on the tv i can’t watch the news
that reality is just too much for me to bear

but where will i go?
what will i wear?
and what will i do?
those are the worries
that i'm facing day by day

and i ask myself
would i trade places
or are my philosophies
only in place
when it's convenient?

am i ready
am i ready to change?

where will i go?
what will i wear?
and what will i do?
those are the worries
that i'm facing day by day

and i ask myself
would i trade places
or are my philosophies
only in place
when it's convenient?

am i willing
am i willing to change?

what does revolution mean?
what does this god damn revolution have to do with me?
people talk, talk about change and the need for justice
but change is hard, and change often equals pain

am i ready
am i willing to change?

i know there's
got to be change.
