It's late, and my mind wanders to fate And i start to ponder, "maybe i can change the world" "Why can't i try to change the world?" Maybe i'll find the cure for cancer Or maybe i'll be a famous actor... anything to seem noble Anything better than being normal I'd like to save endangered animals And i'd like to try to fix the ozone hole I'd like to save the big redwood tree But i think i'll just sit here and watch TV We don't care what happens all Around us as long as it doesn't affect us Plus, that smart guy said it was ok. .Ever wonder how that guy gets paid? You say that we have bills to pay and that we have work on monday And i'm pretty comfy on this couch; Guess i'll let our children sort it out You're lying next to me In our american dream
