Always searching for a sign, that the world is falling down Ever ceasing to resign, when the forecast speaks of storms around You're never gonna save the world (so give up the fight) You're never gonna change the world (and I don't even mind) You rejoice when the dark gets darker Cause it means that you'll be gone before too long You wanna leave this world in style But what if we are here for a while? You're never gonna save the world (so give up the fight) You're never gonna change the world (and I don't even mind) Don't polish brass on this sinking ship (so wipe off that grin) It's all going to hell in a hand basket (even God can't win) These self-fulfilling prophecies A plague, a virus and disease You're never gonna save the world (so give up the fight) You're never gonna change the world (and I don't even mind) Don't polish brass on this sinking ship (so wipe off that grin) It's all going to hell in a hand basket (even God can't win) You're never gonna save the world You're never gonna change the world Time to reach for higher ground Time to take the time Winds of change have blown me down Conquering the line
