Change Your Mind

Watch them gather 'round
And squawk at you like birds
Spouting every piece of 2 cent wisdom
Like they were golden words

See a lump of clay
Maybe they can make a mold
Or recite all the lessons
They were once told
And when you look them in the eyes
The thing they don't realize is

It's not them
It's only you
That can change your mind

A broken record’s playing
But nobody cares
They keep spinning words as if I still hear
The sound drifts through my ears
And out into the air

Don’t they see
It's not them
It's only me that can change my mind

Information swallows you
But did you hear the breaking news
They say they have the real truth
Costs a pretty penny
But I hear they're taking payments too
So step right up
They’ll sell it to you

We can wave a flag
And force our views with a gun
But if we don't walk in their shoes
The problem's just begun
We can colonize the world
In a hero's disguise
Push our capital ideals on foreign lives
When all that's left is a bigger mess
Why are we so surprised

It's not us
It's only them
That can change their minds
