[Verse 1]

The monster we’ve created

Is better off left alone

The mothers we’ve frustrated

Slap our wrists for getting stoned

But I can’t live without it

It tears me limb from limb

The jaws of life won’t do it

Kill the wreckage from within

[Chorus]

But I can’t change

If you stay the same

[Verse 2]

Stand united on the blacktop

By the gutters and the pearly grates

Model kitchens and martyred Christians

The saviors of the human race

But you can’t live without this

Thе utility it comes first

Tear it up and salt the ground

So, it can’t quitе quench the thirst

[Bridge]

One more night

Feels like weeks

Stayed up late

Can you hear me speak

Can you hear me speak

(Take me down)

Can you hear me speak

(Take me down)

You can’t hear me speak

(Take me home)

You can’t hear me speak

[Chorus]

Cause I can’t change

If you stay the same

We can’t change

If you stay the same
