David Gray - Engineering Change lyrics
engineering CHANGE
i've been told that we can't
i've been told that we can't
i've been told that we can't
no use in trying
no use in trying
no use in trying
TO CHANGE THE WORLD
TO CHANGE THE WORLD
TO CHANGE THE WORLD
but wait
THIS JUST IN
hell-bent
on B R E A K I N G
all the RULES
Shattering to smithereens
MIND-warping NOTIONS
REVolutionary concepts
YES, we ARE
going to
BREAK all the rules
Write a new chapter
They said we couldn't do it
whatever WILL BE, WILL BE
DY'IN for a F I G H T
JUST WATCH ME
They will rue the day
they ever challenged me
APOCALYPTIC event
astonishing disclosure
WE ARE
going to
wake'EM up!
Shake'em up
like they've never
been S H A K EN up
before
i've been told that we can't
i've been told that we can't
i've been told that we can't
no use in trying
no use in trying
no use in trying
TO CHANGE THE WORLD
TO CHANGE THE WORLD
TO CHANGE THE WORLD
NO MORE KID GLOVES !
Dyin' for a fight
No more kid gloves
a FIERCE revolution
a BLAZING light!
NO MORE KID GLOVES !
knock'em silly
Just watch me
POUND POUND POUND
Have no mercy
POUND POUND POUND
NO MERCY
NO MERCY
NO MERCY
Channel all that anger
D E M A N D
D E M A N D
D E M A N D
A B R I G H T E R DAY
PIERCE'em
PIERCE'em
PIERCE'em
PIERCE their frozen hearts
until they BURN free
pierce'em
until the LIGHT breaks through
NO TIME for hesitat'in
DEMAND
DEMAND
DEMAND
a brighter day
NO MORE KID GLOVES !
POUND
POUND
POUND
KNOCK'EM silly
no time for holding back
LET THE FLOOD GATES out
LET THE FLOOD GATES out
LET THE FLOOD GATES out
no stopping
'til they scream, the bloody SCREAM
'til they scream, the bloody SCREAM
'til they scream, the bloody SCREAM
NOT through violence
NOT through violence
NOT through violence
but through long, HARD THOUGHT
but through long, hard thought
but through long, HARD THOUGHT
PIERCE'em
straight through to the heart
straight through to the heart
straight through to the heart
Time to change how we've been looking at things
Think the change will do us all
some GOOD
Let's join together to make a brighter day
Let's work together to find a better way
DEMAND a brighter day
DEMAND a brighter day
DEMAND a brighter day
POUND POUND POUND
KNOCK'EM SILLY!
no more sugar
no more sugar
no more sugar
tired of all the fightin'
tired of all the discussin'
tired of all the fightin'
tired of all the discussin'
straight through to the HEART
CAST OUT
your frozen heart
COME CLEAN!
COME CLEAN!
COME CLEAN!
Admit what you've done
Admit you've made MISTAKES
It's our only chance for a brighter day
Straight through to the heart
heads will LIGHTup
souls will break free
Work arm-in-arm to free ourselves
from the Pain
from the Agony
from the Sorrow
'til we hear the scream, the bloody scream
'til we hear them SCREAM, THE BLOODY SCREAM
'til we hear the scream, the bloody scream
SPEAK the TRUTH !
It's our only hope for a brighter day
I'll catch you if you Fall
TRUST ME
i won't let go
BOOM !
