Engineering Change Lyrics

engineering CHANGE

 

 

i've been told that we can't

i've been told that we can't 

i've been told that we can't

 

no use in trying

no use in trying

no use in trying

 

TO CHANGE THE WORLD

TO CHANGE THE WORLD

TO CHANGE THE WORLD

 

but wait 

 

THIS JUST IN

 

hell-bent 

 

on B R E A K I N G 

 

all the RULES 

 

Shattering to smithereens

 

MIND-warping NOTIONS

 

REVolutionary concepts

 

YES, we ARE 

 

going to 

 

BREAK all the rules

 

Write a new chapter

 

They said we couldn't do it 

 

whatever WILL BE, WILL BE

 

DY'IN for a F I G H T

 

JUST WATCH ME

 

They will rue the day

 

they ever challenged me

 

APOCALYPTIC event  

 

astonishing disclosure

 

WE ARE 

 

going to 

 

wake'EM up!

 

Shake'em up 

 

like they've never 

 

been S H A K EN up 

 

before

  

i've been told that we can't

 

i've been told that we can't 

 

i've been told that we can't

 

no use in trying

no use in trying

no use in trying

 

TO CHANGE THE WORLD

TO CHANGE THE WORLD

TO CHANGE THE WORLD

 

NO MORE KID GLOVES !

 

Dyin' for a fight 

 

No more kid gloves

 

a FIERCE revolution

 

a BLAZING light!

 

NO MORE KID GLOVES !

 

knock'em silly

 

Just watch me

 

POUND POUND POUND

 

Have no mercy 

 

POUND POUND POUND 

 

NO MERCY 

 

NO MERCY

 

NO MERCY

 

Channel all that anger

 

D E M A N D

D E M A N D

D E M A N D

 

A   B R I G H T E R   DAY

 

PIERCE'em 

PIERCE'em

PIERCE'em

 

PIERCE their frozen hearts

until they BURN free

until the LIGHT breaks through

 

NO TIME for hesitat'in

 

DEMAND

NO MORE KID GLOVES !

 

POUND

KNOCK'EM silly

 

no time for holding back

 

LET THE FLOOD GATES out

LET THE FLOOD GATES out

LET THE FLOOD GATES out

 

no stopping

 

'til they scream, the bloody SCREAM

'til they scream, the bloody SCREAM

'til they scream, the bloody SCREAM

 

NOT through violence 

NOT through violence

NOT through violence

 

but through long, HARD THOUGHT

but through long, hard thought

but through long, HARD THOUGHT

 

PIERCE'em 

straight through to the heart 

straight through to the heart 

straight through to the heart 

 

Time to change how we've been looking at things 

Think the change will do us all 

some GOOD

 

Let's join together to make a brighter day

Let's work together to find a better way

 

DEMAND a brighter day

DEMAND a brighter day

DEMAND a brighter day 

 

POUND POUND POUND

 

KNOCK'EM SILLY!

 

no more sugar

no more sugar

no more sugar

 

tired of all the fightin'

tired of all the discussin'

tired of all the fightin'

tired of all the discussin'

 

straight through to the HEART

 

CAST OUT

your frozen heart 

 

COME CLEAN!

COME CLEAN!

COME CLEAN!

 

Admit what you've done

Admit you've made MISTAKES

 

It's our only chance for a brighter day 

 

Straight through to the heart

 

heads will LIGHTup 

souls will break free

 

Work arm-in-arm to free ourselves 

 

from the Pain

 

from the Agony

 

from the Sorrow

 

'til we hear the scream, the bloody scream

'til we hear them SCREAM, THE BLOODY SCREAM

'til we hear the scream, the bloody scream

 

SPEAK the TRUTH !

 

It's our only hope for a brighter day

 

I'll catch you if you Fall

TRUST ME

i won't let go

 

BOOM !
