One thing is certain
I can't change the world
I can't change the world
The more we know, the less we care whilst damaged on the way
’Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse

Keep buying, keep moving, this city is sitting

It's just an observation I can't ignore
It's just an observation I can't ignore
Just one more meaningless scientific breakthrough
It's just an observation I can't ignore
But the lights are so bright that they blind you
Keep moving, keep buying, this city is sitting

That people could smile more, people should smile more
Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and start another war
’Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse

I can't change the world
That people could smile more, people should smile more
’Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse
That people should smile more
And people should smile more

I can't change the world
One thing is certain
’Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse
It's just an observation I can't ignore
But you've got everything laid out for you
That people could smile more, people should smile more

Next to me, well laid out, it's gonna come
Next to me, we're laid out, it's gonna come
