Make a Change

They say you are what you eat, but I don't

Could be that's why I'm a Nothing

They say you ought not to drink, nor to smoke, no

And yet the uncertainty has got me puffin' and chuggin'

All of my money is runnin' down my throat

A bad joke's pretty funny

Unless you're the one gettin' poked

If I could catch a break I believe I could make a change

But so far all that I've caught is a cold

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover

How long have I been wearing these cuffs?

They say you shouldn't compare yourself to another

But that's all anyone ever does

Feel like a molehill next to Mt. Everest

All of these duds are getting picked for the team

While I'm sittin' here wonderin' what it is

They don't see in me

If I could catch a break I believe I could make a change

But so far all that I've caught is the breeze

And I try

I don't expect the break I catch to simply fall from the sky

Everyone says I'll be fine

And yeah I used to believe 'em

But now I'm wondering why

They say that actions speak louder than words

But these jerks have selective hearing

They say that kids are to be seen and not heard, sure

But that's absurd, from what I've observed

It's clear that their parents fear them

All of my instincts tell me to be concerned

Cut off at turn after turn

Just once I'd love not to get burned

If I could catch a break I believe I could make a change

But so far all that I've caught is some worms

They say that silence is worth more than gold

Well, well I been itchin' for a pinch again

They say there's some things can't be bought or sold, oh no

That feeling when just for a moment you know what it's like to be rich, yeah that's it

All of my folks are pretty much off of the fence

They've come to a consensus

Yours truly's starting to slip

If I could catch a break I believe I could make a change

But so far all that I've caught is your drift

I said if I could catch a break I believe I could make a change

But I can't even catch my breath to get a grip
