[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Outro]

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 (Mm-mm)

We gotta change around here (Change)
