Change

By Trevaj Siller

CHANGE CHANGE can't you see we need to make a CHANGE
see over the years CHANGE has become the way of the radical
and monotonous stupidity has become the way of the passive
others who sit and wait for candlelight vigils in the park
only to sing we shall overcome
but we are tired of singing that same ole song
waiting for our friend the government to kick in
we all bleed the same so we should be family
instead of acting like brother & sister
to be or not to be is a question that Shakespeare posed
and here are some questions you should ask yourself
am I going to be with or without my people?
for or against their cause?
am I a true solider or just a crossover?
you do know that there is more to life than just survival, right?
well, forget about live and let live
we need to live to love and love to live life
for what it's worth
now we are not natural born killers
so why do we choose to join the man's murder squad which
only adds to our already high death and inmate rates
what happened to peace, love, and unity? well?
forget about what happened to it, how do we get it back?
that is what we want to know and is what we're working toward
see, losing things is easy--it's finding them that's a pain, so
please join us in our quest to
regain knowledge of self and our civilized ways
let's make a CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE
before it's too late
