Change Lyrics
You promised
We believed you
The water's getting high
My God, I forgot you
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from
Deep pockets
Bodies piled high
How can you sleep at night
My God, I forgot you
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from
Make no move
It's dark
It's true
If you can
It's time
You do
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We are, we are
We're waiting for a change
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from
We're waiting for a change
We're waiting for a change
We believed you
The water's getting high
My God, I forgot you
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from
Bodies piled high
How can you sleep at night
My God, I forgot you
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from
It's dark
It's true
If you can
It's time
You do
Waiting, waiting
We are, we are
We're waiting for a change
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from
We're waiting for a change

I believe this song is about, a dictatorship and how people want change, and revolt against authority. To be a rebel. "Why must we choose and die". The narrator is asking why we must we have to push to such extremes to receive change. "Deep pockets, body piled high". The carnage of tyranny. All and all this is about how people want to fight for their civil rights, and will do anything to get it.
