Woke up this morning, tried to clear my head
Drank some coffee, got out of bed
Turned on the news got the world in 30 minutes

And the world today same as yesterday,
seems killing and dying hasn't gone away
I'd be crazy crazy if I thought that it would
I survived it
I could have cried, you know I tried, everyday

CHORUS
I don't want to change the world
Could be better could be worse
I don't want to change the world
Got to find out where it hurts

The man who lives next door to me, shares in my reality
We talk awhile then go our separate ways
As far as I know he's got nothing against me
Got no reason can't you see. We're the same on any other day

I believe....That I can see not to deceive...everyday
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO

I survived it / I could have cried you know I tried it .....Everyday
REPEAT CHORUS OUT
