Do you really want it?

We say, "give me a high, oh god, give me a feeling"
('Cause I've lost my reason)
We say, "give me a push, a push through this"
(Concrete ceiling)
We say "give me a sign that proves what I believe in"
(A psychic reading)
So I can shake these American demons
Give me, give me, give me

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
That's the way things are
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all if you really want it

Do you really want it?
Do you really want it?
Ka, ka, ka, ka

You gotta bite the bullet 'til your gums are bleeding
(Grab the mic and scream it)
You gotta dig up the past to get past this
(Anxious feeling)
You gotta get ripped apart to see why you're breathing
(To find your reason)
So I can shake these American demons
Give me, give me, give me

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
That's the way things are
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all
If you really want it
Then we can change it all

Do you really want it?
Do ya, do ya?
Do you really want it?
Do ya, do ya?
So I can shake these American demons
Screaming, screaming, screaming

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
That's the way things are
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all (we can change it all)
We can change it all
If you really want it
(Oh, oh we can change it all, yeah we can change it all)
(If you really want it)
(Oh, oh we can change it all, yeah we can change it all)

Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
