lyrics

Nina Simone sang me a song about
The next century and I just can’t wait
Although I know a struggle won’t simply end
‘Cause of something that we demarcate
21st Century, people always talking ‘bout
How it’s supposed to be so great
2016 and I’m only 23 but I don’t
Wanna leave it up to fate
We don’t wanna change the world
We just wanna little part of it
We don’t wanna change the scene
We just want mutual respect between
Artists and people
We don’t wanna change society
We just wanna little recognition
We don’t wanna change the way that we feel
We just wanna stop holding back
Something you said I don’t wanna forget it
I’ll hold onto it for the rest of my life
Cause I don’t wanna feel stressed
Wanna be happy
This world is so heavy but also so perfectly round
So just remember, when you feel heavy
You are also weighing it down
But that is valid and it is okay to feel
All of the ways in a lifetime
I just wanna feel okay
I know that this is the way
Price that I’m willing to pay
I guess I just cannot say what
It means to be a human
I’ve always liked the b-sides
The way that they get more
Sentimental and weird
I’ve always liked the verse 2 when it comes back to
Something we’ve already heard
Can I get an Amen, can I get an A+
Tell me I’m doing something right
Well I guess that the grass is really
Greener on your side ‘cause the
Dirt looks pretty brown here on mine
We don’t wanna change the world
We just wanna be a part of it
We don’t wanna change the scene
We just want mutual respect between
Artists and people
We don’t wanna change society
We just wanna be recognized
We don’t wanna change the way that we feel
We just wanna stop holding back
I’ve always liked the outros
The way that they can close
Off something that one might shirk otherwise
Maybe it’s not over just taking a break ‘cause the
Songwriter is late for work, no surprise.
