Change, Change, Start a new life
Get a job and a beautiful wife
Start living like the rest of the world
With money and a girl
Dream, dream, there in my bed
I had it all laid out in my head
I would get it or I’d wind up dead
That’s what I said
Don’t you know it’s hard
To keep your spirits up
It’s hard
To keep from giving up
It’s hard
To Make a difference
In the world today..
Wait, Wait, I take it all back
Sometimes you just
Need to reel in the slack
You’ve got the moves, You’ve got the knack
It’s that whip you need to crack
So move on out to the top of heap
Don't over think it now
Just take the leap
Are you the wolf or are you the sheep
Are you still asleep..
Even though it’s hard
Gotta keep your spirits up
It’s hard
Gotta keep from giving up
It’s hard
Gotta Make a difference
In the world today..
That’s the difference
In the world today...Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (a difference in the world)
I’m gonna make it, Yeah I’m gonna make it
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (a difference in the world)
I got to make a difference in the world today
Oh Yeah
Don’t you know it’s hard
To keep your spirits up
It’s hard...Yeah
Gotta keep from giving up
It’s hard
To Make a difference
In the world today..(to make a difference in the world)
Gotta make a difference in the world (make a difference in the world)
Change, Change, Start a new life
Get a job and a beautiful wife
Start living like the rest of the world
With money and a girl
Get a job and a beautiful wife
Start living like the rest of the world
With money and a girl
Dream, dream, there in my bed
