Nellie McKay - Change The World lyrics

I wake up

I am bored

to my pictures I implore

should I go or stay

what should I be today

make a leap

go to sleep

should I cry or should I weep

where should I go from here

am I hetero or queer

oh, self discovery

what joy it is

I need recovery

caffeinated fizz

should I run

should I hide

happy pill or suicide

contribute or refute

have a kid

then call it cute

oh, self -esteeming, in suburbia

my shelf is teeming

a pet named Chia

(chorus)

oh what should I say

what should I pray

who would care if I went ahead

and punched the wall

oh what do I care

what should I wear

what do I care

what does it matter

if I change the world at all

I listen to some rap

I give myself a slap

come on use the pain

drink up from the rain

just arise unsupervised

healthy wealthy you know wise

dance around

make a sound

let yourself become unwound

god, I'm so German

have to have a plan

please Ethel Merman help me out this jam

ding a ling

ring a ding

anything just do something

feelin' dense

on the fence

civil disobedience

come on now's the hour

go and deviate

can't you feel the power

hope you appreciate

(chorus)

OK Dr. Phil

ready for my pill

flex my psychic muscle

guess we'd better hustle

people are dying now

do something you ugly cow

sorry for myself again

me, my wallet and my men

Jesus I love you

Frank I love you, too

hit the road together

get out of the zoo

no exit

just a pit

apocalyptic and a zit

hurry now

pack your bags

adieu you mall scallawags

got my sneakers velcroed

snap my bookbag on

goodbye little zipcode

how can I go wrong

(chorus)

what does it matter

if I change the world at all
