Lyrics

It's been 2000 years
But nothing's really changed
Everything still remains the same
While we all stand around and pass the blame
Oh, what fools we are, uh-huh
So you make another policy
To cover up the lies
Say things will be better between you and I
Oh, but that's just another hypocrisy, superficialty
Your technology has turned everything into plastic
And made you drastic
Well, you can design another lie
To keep the wool over our eyes
But you can't stop the clocks that's ticking on our clocks
Now can you, can you, huh?
You build your palaces way across the sky
But we're not just gonna sit around and take in
Another 2000 years
We're gonna break those whips and chains
It never floods, never floods 'til it rains
And even that won't wash away the bloodstains
Oh, can you hear me?
We've been your cooks, your gardeners
And nannies to your little monsters, uh-huh
For every job that's demeaning
My people are the natural answers
You've been putting us down, pushing us 'round
For too long now
But as God is my witness, something's gonna blow
We've always put up with your trash
'Cause it keeps food on our tables
You know how it is when a kid's gotta eat
And you know the kids really gotta eat
But I realize that what we've been fed has kept us blind
And I'd rather starve than take in
Another 2000 years
We're gonna break those whips and chains, oh, yeah
It never floods, never floods 'til it rains
And even that won't wash away the bloodstains
Can you hear me? Mmm-hmm
We're gonna make the change
Can you hear me?
We're gonna make the change
Oh, can you hear me?
We're gonna make the change
We're gonna make the change
A woman say, a woman say, yo
Me alone can't make that change
You alone not gonna make that change
The whole of we have to make that change
Check it, we have to make a change
Oh, na-na-na-na
Time we stopped acting strange
A woman say, we're gonna make the change
We're gonna make the change
