I slept through my classes and I stayed up late Writing leaflets, painting signs to demonstrate I wrote a message on my shirt and I wore it everyday I'm letting everyone know what I have to say There's a new world in my heart that I can feel And I'm gonna work to make it real I pasted a bunch of posters on the wall I wrote a little message in the bathroom stall I started up a conversation on the train I convinced my friend's brother not to join the Marines Letras de cancionesI wrote a song and sang it at the top of my lungs I held a banner up til my hands went numb I pushed my way through the barricades Went down the sides streets and had my own parade I saw a bunch of people looking hungry on the street So I got a bunch of food and gave it all away for free I stole from rich corporations and I gave to the poor One day I won't have to do that anymore Now there's hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq I won't turn my head away while they're under attack I'm a force for change, I'm an activist I will organize and struggle for a peace that sticks I didn't go and vote, no I didn't need to I vote everyday through what I do Won't give away my power to a bureaucrat Don't need representation, I'm stronger than that Everybody's waiting for a miracle cure Asking everybody else when no one's sure The answer's in your hands, that's what you gotta know You gotta shape it, if you wanna see it grow From Letras Mania
