Lyrics
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 that you hear
Things gonna change around here
What good is freedom
If we haven't learned to be free?
(Haven't learned to be free?)
What good is freedom
If we haven't learned to be free?
(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
(Change around here)
Gotta change around here
(Change around here)
Lord, Lord
(Change around here)
Gotta change around here
(Change around here)
Say it loud, say it clear
We gotta change around here
(Change)
