"Change"

Gotta change around here
Gotta change around here
Can't go on this way
Things gotta change around here
Say it loud, say it clear
Things gonna change around here

Fingers on the trigger around here
Fingers on the trigger around here
Bullets flying, mothers crying
We gotta change around here
Get it straight, be sure, did you hear
That it's gonna change around here

What good is freedom
If we haven't learned to be free?
(If we haven't learned to be free?)
What good is freedom
If we haven't learned to be free?
(If we haven't learned to be free)
Day after day, year after year
We're gonna change around here

X is the letter
Blue is the color
One is the number
Now is the time
Can we change around here?
Gotta change around here
Say it loud, say it clear
We gotta change around here

Gotta change around here
Gotta change around here
Change around here
Gotta change around here
Say it loud, say it clear
We gotta change around here
