What Would I Change?

Location

If I could change one thing, I would change the attitude we bring.

The mentality that life is a competition and not a mission.

They don't define their own Nirvana and instead smoke the marijuana

Of life. Just go with the flow.

Do what they tell you, buy what they sell you.

Don't be yourself, put your personality on the shelf

and forget about it. Don't listen to your heart, listen to your shopping cart.

They promise lies, deliver lies, and we're surprised.

But nothing's done...it's all just fun.

Next time they'll tell the truth, why would they lie to their youth?

But the cycle goes on, like our future's drawn

out. But it's not, there is no plot.

It's your life...so take it back.
