I want to change the world, it isn't well But I can't even change myself That doesn't mean I never will, there's hope left in me still Oh I've just been giving in Giving in to the world I live in What I believe I'd like to be Now don't lose faith in me It doesn't seem we've come that far But that's from where we are I've just been giving in, giving in to the world I live in Talk is cheap when we're stroking ourselves Full of great intentions but knowing all too well We might be giving in So say I reach what I believe Then what is left for me I'll still be an average man, wanting much more than I am And I might be giving in Giving in to the world I live in
